Architecture Design of The Lantern House

Description About The Project

The Lantern House designed by MU Architecture, spread across three levels with a stunning views of a large mountain and a beautiful lake. For this house, the pure ensemble presents itself discreetly by concealing its accesses and only partly revealing its interior spaces. Also, a dark cedar cladding, with oscillating hues, blends the object gently into its natural environment.

Designed as a real observatory, the master quarters are located on the upper level of the residence in a volume that literally seems to float above the large terrace of the main level, providing it with a shaded area in the summer. Besides, a double office adjoining the bedroom separated from the stairwell by an open-shelf, wooden library. In addition to this, the basement features two bedrooms and a large playroom to delight the clients’ two young children.

Once inside, bright white walls and warm wood paneling alternate from space to space. A generous mudroom welcomes guests at the entrance. On the West side, generous floor to ceiling windows provide unobstructed views on the mountain and the lake and unfold the living area outwards. In this vast open space, there is a living room and fireplace, with the mantel of the latter comprising acid-washed gray steel plates that evoke the colors of the trees. There is also a dining room and a kitchen, both finished in white lacquer, rich wood panels, and marble.

Without a doubt, the architecture provides a bright, healthy, and joyful family environment. Also, the clear and lively materials provide a deep feeling of well-being in a peaceful.

Indeed, the glass floor to ceiling door on all 3 floors of The Lantern House, provides an unobstructed view of the surrounding landscape.

The natural cedar interior ceilings extend as soffits outside.

The main staircase, made of glass and white painted steel, has a very light and delicate appearance.

Text by the Architects: Nestled in Quebec’s Laurentian forest, this residence is a composition of volumes with soothing and balanced proportions which, on winter nights, sparkles through the woods like a guiding lantern. Besides, the architectural structure, facing a large mountain and a beautiful lake, is spread across three levels, totaling 4,500 sq.ft. (420 sq.m. ).
