Beach House: Lake Archambault Residence sits on the shore of Lake Archambault in Québec, Canada, a new house by Ghoche architecte. Composed as a low, quiet arrangement of volumes, the project turns to light, water, and native planting rather than overt expression. The result reads as a clear coastal gesture tuned to a northern lake climate.
Ridge on the Chimney lands in Chimney Corner, Canada, as a quartet of rental cottages by Mackay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects on Cape Breton’s western shore. Framed by cliffs and mountains, the house-scaled cabins draw from local barns and fish shacks while answering fierce coastal winds.

The result is a coastal house with a new primary suite and a measured environmental stance.

The house is a compact retreat for three generations, shaped by north–south outlooks and a precise structural strategy. Its long gable holds living and sleeping rooms that open to forest light, while a steel moment frame touches the land at only six points.
