This wasn\u2019t the first time the owners of the<\/span><\/span> Saint-Donat<\/span><\/span> residence worked<\/span><\/span> with Clairoux.<\/span><\/span>. We started in 2009 by <\/span>renovating<\/span> a small<\/span> <\/span>basement bathroom<\/span><\/span><\/a>, then<\/span> continued with<\/span><\/span> a kitchen<\/span><\/span> renovation in 2010<\/span><\/span><\/a>, <\/span><\/span>, ground-floor bathroom<\/span><\/span> in<\/span> 2012<\/span> and<\/span> lastly<\/span>, the<\/span> terrace.<\/span> <\/span>This time<\/span><\/span>,<\/span> they<\/span> brought us a unique challenge: to transform<\/span><\/span> their second home<\/span><\/span> in<\/span><\/span> Saint-Donat<\/span><\/span>, at the northern tip of Archambault Lake, into an oasis of comfort and relaxation.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The<\/span><\/span> residence<\/span><\/span> had a breathtaking southern view and around 100 metres of private beach, but was<\/span> built<\/span> in a wetland so we couldn\u2019t expand the perimeter. Our only option was to bring <\/span><\/span>the veranda<\/span><\/span> inside the<\/span><\/span> house<\/span><\/span> and keep the current footprint.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We were enthusiastic about this challenge and started hammering out our concept for the<\/span><\/span> renovation.<\/span><\/span>. We worked directly with our clients to understand their needs, tastes and lifestyle to create a home that met their expectations.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

With the<\/span> goal of<\/span> transforming<\/span> <\/span>vacation<\/span> home<\/span><\/span> into their<\/span> <\/span>pri<\/span>ma<\/span>r<\/span>y<\/span> residence<\/span><\/span>,<\/span> o<\/span>u<\/span>r<\/span> jo<\/span>b<\/span> wa<\/span>s to<\/span><\/span> <\/span>cre<\/span>ate<\/span> a<\/span> war<\/span>m<\/span> space<\/span><\/span> wh<\/span>e<\/span>r<\/span>e<\/span> th<\/span>ey<\/span> co<\/span>ul<\/span>d<\/span> ho<\/span>st<\/span> th<\/span>ei<\/span>r<\/span> large family.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Because of our trusted relationship with our clients, we were able to offer a concept based on our<\/span> contemporary inspirations.<\/span><\/b>. Our main idea was to bring more <\/span>natural light<\/span><\/b> inside and work<\/span> with light<\/span><\/b> and<\/span> soft textures<\/span><\/b>.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

We selected<\/span> eastern white cedar<\/span><\/b>, a local wood<\/span><\/b>, for<\/span> our colour palette and<\/span> materials.<\/span><\/b>. As exterior cladding, cedar develops a silver sheen over time, but keeps its blond colour inside. We used it both <\/span>on the outside of the building<\/span><\/b> and for<\/span> interior structural elements<\/span><\/b> like the<\/span> stairs<\/span><\/b>,<\/span> central beam<\/span><\/b> and<\/span> living room<\/span><\/b> ceiling.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

To ensure visual consistency between the exterior and interior<\/span>, we chose porcelain tile<\/span><\/b> to mirror the summer beach and winter snow. The heated flooring\u2019s bright white tiles also reflect the sunlight that streams into the space.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

We chose green glass accents inspired by the surrounding conifers\u2014a way to incorporate them into our built environment. his green glass brought pops of colour into the space. We primarily used clear glass in <\/span>living areas<\/span><\/b> to enhance<\/span> brightness<\/span><\/b> and transparency.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s not the last we\u2019ll see of these clients! <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The family wants to expand their living space by transforming their<\/span> attic<\/span><\/b> into a<\/span> sleeping loft.<\/span><\/b>. While this conversion was <\/span>part of the original plans<\/span><\/b>, the homeowners don\u2019t need the space yet and may come back to the idea over the coming years.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
