A MONTREAL HOUSE DESIGNED FOR A SCULPTORPosted by Caroline Williamson on 09 . 16 . 16 in Architecture , MainFORWARDVIEW THE PHOTO GALLERYSculptor Jacek Jarnuszkiewicz collaborated with architects Marie - Claude Hamelin and Loukas Yiacouvakis , of firm YH 2 , on his house surrounded by a forest in Bolton - Est , Quebec , Canada . After much discussion , a vertical structure was decided upon to stand harmoniously with the trees . The bold exterior is made up of two wooden volumes where one is light and the other is dark , along with plenty of windows that welcome the natural light on all three floors . An open floor plan gives the interior a more spacious feel . Windows frame unobstructed views of the forest expanding visual sight lines . Between the ground and first floor , glass panels were used to further open the interior up . Just off the top floor ’ s lounge area , there ’ s a covered terrace that looks out over the nearby lake and mountains . Photos by Francis Pelletier , courtesy of v 2 com .
