La Conception IV
This project, with its sculptural language inspired by the work of Canadian artist Rolland Poulin, is an exercise that seeks to highlight the sublime qualities of the Laurentian Forest through the contrast between the building and its surroundings. The pure, monochromatic aspects of the project do not compete with the lush vegetation but rather engage in a dialogue with it. As the seasons change, one approaches the building and discovers it like a "found object", where the architectural journey culminates in a third-floor terrace/lookout offering views of the mountains. The interior layout is designed so that the promenade leads to the discovery of the project's many attractions. The design also provides diverse access to nature, including multiple entrances at ground level, the extent of the openings, and two sheltered terraces to maximize the outdoor experience.
