The Malbaie V residence is located in the splendid region of Cap-à-l’Aigle in the center of Charlevoix. It is a part of a distinct residential hillside development which offers spectacular views of La Malbaie, the St. Lawrence River and the surrounding mountains.

The simple and clear external drama of geometrical volumes embracing one another seems to emerge from the steep terrain. The green roof spreads over the entire dwelling that facilitate its integration into the landscape and works as an insulating layer and also helps to reduce heat built-up in summer. A wide gateway which acts as a covered entrance and carport sets on a retaining wall/storage unit that was unavoidable given the condition of the very steep terrain. Retaining walls of the lower bearing has been accomplished by shifting large round stones recovered during the construction of the street above.
