Havres Montcalm

Montcalm, Canada

Havre Montcalm is a modern architectural getaway development designed by MU Architecture, consisting of elegant and peaceful residences nestled in the heart of Quebec's majestic Laurentian Mountains.

The eventual collection of 62 residences, located on 184 acres of nature, draws inspiration from the mountainous terrain and luminous clearing, as well as from the history and family values of the owners. Just 20 kilometers from Mont-Tremblant, and blending into the surrounding forest, the estate provides magnificent views of the Laurentian mountains, as well as privileged access to trails, Lake Beaven, the Aerobic Corridor Park, and a multitude of cultural and outdoor experiences.

The site's rugged topography, with changing vegetation and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, makes it a unique place. MU Architecture and Projet Paysage were tasked with ensuring that the architecture integrates within the existing landscape with minimal intervention on the terrain. By alternating typologies to match the terrain's topography, the conscientious placement of the homes minimally alters the site, while highlighting its natural components.

The creation of a private road, winding through the terrain, allows for accommodation of the terrain's slope and rugged topography. Thus, the residences are arranged from the bottom to the top of the hill in a serpentine fashion, optimizing space and ensuring that each one has a breathtaking view of the beautiful valley below. The layout was meticulously planned to strike a balance between privacy and accessibility, while preserving the natural landscape.
