"Set on a maple-wooded site, the land slopes gently toward a valley where a river traces its course at the base of the terrain. It is within this natural movement of the ground that Perchee takes shapea house that favors restraint over imprint, and whose siting strategy seeks, above all, to limit clearing in order to preserve the site's most valuable quality: the feeling of being truly immersed among the trees."

The Perchee residence sits on a maple-wooded site that slopes gently toward a valley with a river at the base of the terrain. The design responds to the natural movement of the ground, with the house taking shape within the slope rather than reshaping it. The project favors restraint over imprint, prioritizing a siting strategy that limits clearing to protect mature trees and the site's forest character. Preserving the feeling of being truly immersed among the trees is treated as the site's most valuable quality and the primary design objective.
