Lakeside Gallery Residence / Atelier Échelle

Atelier Échelle reinterprets the vernacular barn architecture of rural Québec for contemporary art collectors' residence. Sitting on the west banks of Lake Memphremagog, the Lakeside Gallery Residence is a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional barn volume typical to rural Québec. The design repeats this prototypical form in four different articulations—an outdoor summer home, an indoor winter home, a living quarter, and a guest quarter. Cedar roofs, brick walls, and glass bridges tie the four volumes into one singular experience.
