Résidence l’Échouage by Bourgeois / Lechasseur architectes
Résidence l’Échouage sits on a narrow point of land in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, Canada, where the St. Lawrence River presses close on both sides. Bourgeois / Lechasseur architectes transform an inherited summer house into a cedar-clad residence of linked pavilions, balancing resilience with an intimate relationship to the shifting tides. The project reads as a modest house from the ground yet quietly extends into a layered landscape of rooms, courtyards, and river views.
