La Sentinelle is a minimalist design created by Canada-based designer naturehumaine. After selling their previous country house because of the lack of natural light, a couple and their three kids decided to buy an empty lot and build a custom home to better suit their needs. They found a parcel of land with southern exposure at vast views of the lake ‘Lac-de-la-Cabane’. The constraints of the site led to an L shaped footprint where an east-west oriented rectangular block was placed at the top of the topography, and a north-south oriented block was slid underneath.
