Rosenberry
residence
T
his residence
located on a large
wooded lot near
Sutton in the
Eastern Townships
region is conceived as a bigenerational family cottage for
a financier now based in Asia
and his parents still living i n
Montreal sharing it for family
holidays in summer and winter.
Common areas, kitchen, dining
room and living room occupy
the ground floor open space as
well as the private rooms of the
parents on its west end.
The second floor is reserved for
the son, contains a living room,
guest rooms, a terrace and a
bedroom offering unobstructed
views of Mount Sutton.
The two wings are disposed at
right angle to minimize noise
transmission between floors for
occupants living on a different
daily rhythm and having to
adapt to twelve hours of time
zone separation.
The house, sitting on a podium
with a swimming pool and a
lawn terrace, is clad with black
lacquered aluminium panels
and white cedar accents.
The hybrid structure is made of
wood, steel and concrete floors
with radiant heating while
the glazing of the curtain wall
and windows include a low-e
coating.
