Located in the beautiful region of the Eastern Townships near the US border in Quebec, the Slender House Residence unfolds in a long linear volume. Nestled on the steep shores of Lake Memphremagog it opens-up onto a peaceful secluded bay. Massive dry stacked, locally supplied, granite volumes serve as bases on which rests an impressive 111 feet long roof with blade-like sharp edges. The austere and rough appearance of the exterior stands in contrast with the very large, bright and airy interiors of the house. Large bay windows, skylights and immaculate white walls flood the space with light.
