The Orford House Orford, Canada by Thellend Fortin Architects

This single-family dwelling is located in the heart of the Eastern Townships, right next to Parc National du Mont-Orford. Neighboring a few disparate residential buildings, it is immersed in mountainous terrain, where maple and fir trees stretch as far as the eye can see. Taking full advantage of this exceptional setting, it offers its residents a spectacle that evolves with the seasons, from the blazing colors of autumn to the verdant awakening of spring.

The couple had owned the land for over 5 years when they called on Thellend Fortin Architectes to build their second home. At the time, an old building occupied the site, but was no longer suitable for the family's needs. However, the parents and children remained attached to this corner of paradise, where they share many memories and hobbies. Lush nature, breathtaking mountain views, cultural and physical activities at their fingertips: it was out of the question for them to leave. So the decision was made to demolish the old place and to rebuild in its footsteps.
