Built on the shore of Lake Revdor in the Laurentians, the Break Residence reveals its different faces depending on whether it is discovered from the water or the ground. The sculptural main entrance lies under a double story canopy chiselled between these rock-like volumes. Serving as the heart of the home, it creates a warm and inviting environment. The mineral nature of the selected materials within the interior architecture contribute to its peacefulness. The residence is an ode to hospitality, generosity, comfort and the beauty of nature and its elements.
