Light would be a most appropriate word to describe this superb red-cedar-and-timber-framed home that overlooks scenic Lac Manitou in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec. Light, quite literally, penetrates the home through the abundance of glass walls, but it also describes its graceful, airy and resolutely modern design. Though the architecture seems like it could take flight, the house remains anchored to the ground by the retaining natural stone walls surrounding it, and perfectly tying it to its natural landscape.
This feat in rustic architecture wasn’t always so. When Mike and Marcia bought the property in 2005, the neglected pinewood-plank cabin that existed on this spot dated back to 1970, and it really showed its age. The couple coped with the cabin’s inefficiencies for 11 years before embarking on a major overhaul.
