坐落在魁北克省劳伦蒂斯山区的乡村，这个现代的附加建筑不是典型的车库。在宁静的多维尔湖上，这个简约的木质体量从周围的绿色山脉中脱颖而出。
Located in the Laurentians’ mountainous countryside, in the province of Quebec, this modern addition is not the typical garage. Over the peaceful Lake Deauville, this minimalist wood volume stands out from the surrounding green mountains.
一个现代车库变成了一个悬空的艺术家工作室
让人联想到典型的谷仓，这个巨大的现代附加物被改造成了一个建筑作品，投射在湖边的悬崖上。它占地超过5000平方英尺，容纳了两个叠加的车库、一个工作室、一个大型创意室和一个夹层。
A Contemporary Garage that Turns Into a Suspended Artist Studio
Reminiscent of the typical barn, this vast modern addition is transformed into an architectural work that projects over the cliffs of the lake. It covers more than 5000 sq. ft. and houses two superimposed garages, a workshop, a large creative room and a mezzanine.
工作室悬浮在倾斜的柱子森林之上
通过一座悬臂桥与主住宅相连，工作室被定义为一个强大的思考和创造空间。它的结构是完全自由的，靠在一组倾斜的柱子上，让人联想到森林，把它悬挂在树线之上。
The Workshop Hovers Above a Forest of Inclined Columns
Connected to the main residence by a cantilevered bridge, the workshop is defined as a powerful space for reflection and creation. Its structure, entirely free, rests on a set of inclined columns evoking the forest, suspending it above the tree line.
北方之光
工作室的侧面有一盏灯，朝向北方和湖面的景色。宽敞而亲切的内部空间可以容纳大尺寸的绘画作品。表面的极简主义游戏和严格的排列将艺术家的工作放在现场，并支持他的注意力。
Northern Light
Pierced with a light on its flanks, the Workshop is oriented towards the north and the views onto the lake. Spacious but intimate, the interior volume accommodates large formats of paintings. The minimalist play of surfaces and the rigor of the alignments put the artist’s work in the scene and supports his concentration.
令人眼花缭乱的高度游戏
夹层在一个不间断的大天花板下提供了一个放松和游戏的区域。在它的中心有一个较小的像房子一样的体积，庇护着一个浴室和另一个更小的夹层，设置得更高，是孩子们的完美藏身之处。在这个空中平台上，抛光的混凝土地板反映了光线和景色，增加了眩晕感。它由一个开放的楼梯进入，作为桥梁和夹层之间的连接器。它由一系列大的冷轧钢板组成，代表了艺术家在画布上画出第一笔的姿态。
Dizzying Height Game
The mezzanine offers a relaxation and play area under a large uninterrupted ceiling. A smaller house like volume in its center shelters a bathroom and another smaller mezzanine set even higher, a perfect hideout for kids. On this aerial platform, the polished concrete floor reflects light as well as views and increases the feeling of vertigo. It is accessed by an open staircase that acts as a connector between the bridge and the mezzanine. Consisting of a series of large plates of cold-rolled steel, it represents the gesture of the artist sketching away his first brushstrokes on the canvas.
复杂的简单性
工作室以一个简单的体积呈现，上面覆盖着预先老化的灰色木材。它厚厚的外墙借鉴了被动房建筑的标准。在另一个规模上，复杂的细节被开发出来，以便在墙壁和屋顶之间为建筑通风，并完全隐藏车库门，同时满足魁北克恶劣气候下的绝缘需求。悬崖上的工作室是一个表达的地方，建筑让我们沉浸在创造性的灵感和自然的沉思中。
Sophisticated Simplicity
The workshop is presented as a simple volume covered with a pre-aged grey wood. Its thick exterior walls take from the standards of Passive house constructions. At another scale, sophisticated details were developed to ventilate the building between the walls and the roof and to completely conceal the garage door while responding to insulation needs due to the harsh climate of Quebec. The Workshop on a Cliff is a place of expression where architecture immerses us in creative inspiration and Nature contemplation.
