ARCHITECT LAKE HOUSE - EASTERN TOWNSHIPS QUEBEC

Striking Waterfront Beauty in the Eastern Townships. Set on the shores of Orford Lake, in Quebec’s picturesque Eastern Townships, this architectural home by Nature Humaine in collaboration with Creative Flats was completed in 2023, yet offers a neo mid-century-modern design ethos and striking sunsets.
Strategically located for expansive views across Lake Orford, this 3,200sqft, newly constructed beauty faces the water, the lake gleaming enticingly outside its living and dining rooms, kitchen and bedrooms. Giant windows cover the architectural home’s facades, spanning 55 feet across and flooding the living spaces with natural light. A central skylight overhead adds to the illumination, and the garden-level bedrooms continue the theme, each featuring large panoramic windows and direct access to the terrace.
A few meters above the lake’s shore, the waterfront lodge’s dramatic central living area is set under cedar-clad cathedral ceilings anchored by a sleek modern fireplace of smooth travertine. Rich, warm wood gives the home its mid-century modern bent, appearing in ceiling coverings, paneled room partitions, and the double-height stairwell. The mid-century vibe continues in the home’s spacious rectilinear volumes, built-in wood furnishings like the recessed library, flowing draperies, geometric windows, sliding doors, and classic, flat-roofed form.
Built into a green berm above the lake’s shore, with a private pier and verdant lawn, the home is a quick walk from hiking trails and near golf courses, ski slopes and numerous vineyards.
