Clean Lines and River Views: A Modern Canadian Home by Saucier + Perrotte
Located in Terrebonne, Québec, this 724 m² residence by Saucier + Perrotte Architectes is designed to maximize river views while maintaining privacy from neighbors. The home features a horizontal concrete base with a cantilevered black zinc volume above, creating a clean, geometric silhouette.
A floor-to-ceiling glass wall spans the rear facade, opening the interior to the riverside landscape and adjacent patio, pool, and boardwalk.
The layout centers around a large open space with polished concrete floors, crisp white walls, and a sculptural white staircase. A walnut wood ceiling grid adds texture, while built-in shelving discreetly integrates mechanical systems. The master suite, located on the upper level, includes a marble bathroom, dual closets, and a private terrace with panoramic lake views.
The structure is engineered with a timber framework free of interior columns and supported by slender steel posts. Exterior landscaping includes gentle slopes and curated plantings that frame the architecture. With its restrained material palette and focus on indoor-outdoor continuity, the house is built for durability, clarity, and modern living.
