Les Abouts in Québec City

Designed by Atelier Pierre Thibault the residence is separated in two areas, a common space and a more private zone. The private part stretches to around thirty meters to border the nearby river. Covered by a thin roof, the volume looks as if it is levitating among the trees. Housing the master bedroom, two bathrooms and the kitchen, it was designed to be opened on the surrounding nature and very well-lit. The relationship between the inside and outside is underlined by a fly screen room prolonging the volume and overlooking the ferns.

The common space is a volume on two levels designed to reflect the verticality of the forest. It is also the receptacle of the larger works of art. In order to leave the most possible space on the walls, the guest’s bedroom and the library are suspended in a small volume. Detached from the sides by a glass floor, the volume gains a floating aspect in the double height and brings a variance in the scale of the room. As a wooden chest, the house becomes a recipient where art and nature meet.

And when I wake up, You are still with me! Psalm 139:18 What a wonderful promise to wake up to! That God is near, we’re not alone anymore. It means He will guide and shepherd us through the various situations we may find ourselves in; When you wake up in the morning, God is there to love and prepare you. When you go about your day, God is there for you, desiring to empower you. When you lie down at night, God is there to give you rest and peace. Spend time today in prayer renewing your mind to the promise of God’s presence and letting His nearness become your source of courage, strength and rest.
