The Bissonnette House project in Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes involves the reconstruction and expansion of a house dating back to the 1980s. The design draws inspiration from the shed/mid-century style, featuring juxtaposed volumes, steep roof slopes, asymmetry, artisanal qualities, spacious interiors, noble materials, and a distinctive entrance.

The façade is composed of three distinct treatments: a central brick volume with corner sections, accompanied by two tones of light cladding that create a horizontal flow on this otherwise vertically dominant structure. Plays of light and visual openings contribute to the creation of captivating interior spaces.

The journey through the house unfolds in three stages. Upon entering, a split-level design offers a global view of the interior, allowing for a gradual immersion into its vast spaces. The double-height vertical axis extends to the rear, connecting public and private areas such as the dining room, living room, office, and veranda. Upstairs, the master bedroom is designed to facilitate circulation around the bed, with a concealed walk-in closet providing an intuitive flow for daily routines. The interior renovation focuses on continuity in materials and colors, creating a natural, timeless, and warm minimalist ambiance. The use of stone, ceramic, and wood in greige tones embraces a biophilic approach, enhancing the home's original rustic charm while modernizing it.

With these enhancements, the Bissonnette House project achieves a harmonious fusion between past and present, offering a contemporary architectural setting that respects the home’s history while meeting the client’s needs and expectations.
