paul bernier architecte links modern extension to heritage home in chateauguay, quebec
Briefly

In Châteauguay, architect Paul Bernier revitalizes a heritage house from 1814 by carefully renovating its interior and adding a modern extension. This extension, with its low-sloped roof and subdued design, is placed thoughtfully to maintain the original house's prominence. A glass walkway connects the two structures, highlighting their distinct architectural styles. The extension's materials complement the historical stonework, while sustainable design features, like a green roof and water management systems, enhance the house's interaction with its natural surroundings, embodying a harmonious blend of old and new.
Designed with a narrow width and low-sloped roof, the new extension respects the historical architecture of the heritage house, ensuring both styles harmoniously coexist.
The transparent glass walkway links the two volumes, maintaining visibility of the original house while emphasizing the distinction between historical and modern design.
