Montreal-based architectural firm Saucier + Perrotte created this stylish created this elegant contemporary ski retreat and won the Canadian Architect magazine’s Award of Excellence for their efforts. The residence, perched on a hillside in Lac Superieur, Mont-Tremblant in Quebec has a simple boxy elegance that lets the surrounding landscape take centre stage. Nicknamed 'the cube' by locals, it's divided into three functional areas - sleeping quarters on the top floor, middle and entry floor for living and the lowest level for play. The views from the floor-to-ceiling windows provide all the visual stimulus you’ll need, and at the same time, demand a streamlined approach to everything else in the interior.
