ECOHAB HOUSE

Built on Mont Chanteclerc summit in Sainte-Adèle, this is the company’s latest flagship residence, and the newest family home. The Ecohab House features 1,600 sq.ft. of living space on two floors, plus 300 sq.ft. of floor space in the roof trusses. The traditional garage has been replaced by a bicycle workshop to facilitate leisure activities for the family, who love the outdoors and mountain sports. A training and music room has been set up in the roof trusses. It’s an economical way to gain square footage! The main living spaces are on the ground floor, on a polished concrete slab heated by a hydronic radiant floor.

Le Hameau

The Sainte-Agathe residence is one of those projects whose scale and complexity mark a builder’s career. First, the house features two imposing cantilevered sections: the screened porch on the first floor and the master bedroom upstairs. Visitors are immediately struck by the fact that these are literally two rooms “perched” in the air.
Then, comprising 4,420 sq. ft. on three floors, the imposing residence is built around a vast central open area from which two wings spread out. The result is a house that is far removed from typical residential architecture. From pre-project coordination to the final construction work, Écohabitations boréales invested more than a year of work to complete the project.

Saint-Eustache

This dream home features an exposed timber frame that can be seen from both inside and outside the house. The cathedral-ceilinged first floor features a large open-plan living room, dining room and kitchen. The bedrooms and main bathroom are upstairs, as is an office area. The fully finished basement houses the guest bedroom, billiard room and full bathroom with laundry section. The house is heated and air-conditioned with a high-efficiency heat pump.

SALES OFFICE – ÉCOHABITATIONS BORÉALES

This is our sales office. We were responsible for the entire design and construction of the building. The plans were drawn up by Atelier Idéa of Sainte-Adèle. This is the first mixed-use commercial building in the Laurentians to be LEED Gold and Novoclimat certified. It is in line with the company’s development philosophy of high-performance, durable and comfortable construction. Although this is a commercial building, it also houses three 4 1/2 apartments on the upper floors. Écohabitations boréales’ 2000 sq. ft. sales office occupies the entire ground floor. The apartments are available for rent and are all occupied at present.

MORIN-HEIGHTS

This contemporary home is perched atop a mountain, offering a breathtaking view of the Saint-Sauveur Valley. Full-height aluminum/wood windows have been cleverly positioned on the first floor to take full advantage! A high-efficiency heat pump is part of the heating system, contributing to its excellent Energuide rating. The residence boasts 3850 sq.ft. on two floors, including a double garage.

THE CIME

With its Alpine allure, this family residence makes a statement with its Craftsman-inspired solid wood columns. Part of the first floor is built on a slab, while the bedrooms are built on a wooden floor, with a garden level below. The property is heated by hot-water radiant floors and electric convectors. The kitchen and vanities are made of FSC-certified maple, and are entirely manufactured in the Laurentians.
