Béliveau-Lapointe-Bourassa – LEED Gold
This is the first project by UrbanÉco at the Boisé du Lac Parker, designed and built for a couple. An integrated garage with a rooftop patio attached to the 2015 square feet house allows the owners to enjoy a glass of wine under the last rays of sun during the golden hour. The exterior siding made out of burnt wood adds a touch of elegance.
Inside, the usual layout is flipped upside down: the living areas are upstairs, whilst the bedrooms and office space are downstairs.

Chalet lac Montjoie
Do not be convinced that this façade is all there is to this house: it is actually a three storey building. Although it presents itself with neutral tones, pops of blues and greens are present throughout the house and the fireplace in the cathedral space gives it a nice, warm touch.

Langlois-Allard – Novoclimat
This intergenerational home is the perfect example of balancing a communal lifestyle with your family and enjoy your intimacy at the same time. Inside, everything has been thought of down to the last detail for a minimalist yet elegant style, whether it is the hard-wood kitchen ceiling, the heated concrete flooring without baseboards, or a few decorating accessories that brings the room together. In total, the house includes 4 rooms and 2 bathrooms. The entrance (in the middle) acts as the separation between the two generations and connects both sides of the house together. Underneath the entrance in the basement, there is a gym which all family members have access to!

Lecornec-Pibarot – Novoclimat
This magnificent home welcomes an abundance of light in each room. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms and one complete bathroom where a country character is added to the house by a roof dormer. On the main floor, a heated concrete flooring provides year-round comfort to the home owners and requires very little maintenance, which is perfect for a family who owns a dog!

La Pool
Designed and delivered in just six months to an American couple who recently relocated to Canada, La Pool is at the cutting edge of technology in terms of low-energy indoor pools. This private indoor complex also houses a sauna, hammam (steam room) and a relaxation area with a wood burning stove. Many high-end technical elements that contribute to make this place an oasis of peace and relaxation have been chosen since they are healthy for the body and the environment. Air quality is ensured by efficient ventilation, automated humidity control and Cedar finishing and lime coatings have been chosen for their natural antifungal properties and great beauty. An LED lighting system creates soothing lighting ambiances and the high quality of materials, the choice of textures and colors, coupled with a welcoming and pure design are conducive to contemplation.

Bonneviot-Riopel – LEED Platinum
This unique home is the result of a combination of two old solid wood homes, one a log house and the other beam and post, being deconstructed, moved and rebuilt to make one. The interior finishing is thus richly endowed with ancient recuperated materials with a story to tell, and with other resolutely contemporary fixtures that listen and by this virtue engender a dialogue, mutually enhancing one another.
Outside, a graceful pergola and a magnificent gazebo help forge the link with the natural environs and nearby lake.

Lacroix-Durocher – LEED Gold
Welcome to the Lacroix-Durocher family cocoon, a LEED certified house for a family of five. As the owners were working in northern Quebec during the design process, trust and communication were essential to create their dream home remotely.

La Zéta – Novoclimat

Houde-Blais-Heintz – Novoclimat
We design houses to make dreams come true.
This project was originally designed by another firm and we were contacted to do construction. During a discussion with the clients, they told us about all the architectural compromises they had made in order to meet their budget. Hearing the description of their original dream, it was obvious to us that there was a simpler, more accessible, and equally thoughtful way to achieve it. So we came up with a brand new plan a few days later, one that respected their budget and was based on their personalities, desires and their ways of living in the space. A generous, open living environment with floor-to-ceiling glass in the dining room, a living room bench nested between the warm fireplace and the grand openings. This space brings the project to life and gives justice to these owners. Built on two floors, this home has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a multi room perfect for remote work and hobbies! A practical, functional and elegant home that reflects the family that lives in it.

Fortin-Courtemanche
Remarkably well-conceived and awash in light, this tiny house conveys and impression of grandeur with its high ceilings and ample windows. The main room of the house, which includes the kitchen and living room/dining room areas, is very welcoming. A place where life feels good and getting around is a pleasure! On all sides are a bedroom, bathroom, small vestibule and storage space, all installed on the same level. Designed by UrbanEco and built through a task sharing arrangement, this cozy little home features clean lines and is ingeniously decorated, in keeping with the image of this young couple who care about the environment.
