Mario Januario wanted ‘a simple backdrop to capture the ephemeral beauties of families coming, going and sharing time together’
From the back, the Laurentian cottage that Mario Januario shares with his sister. Cristina. appears to be something it’s not: a simple, single-storey cabin with a traditional gable roof. Uncannily, the structure seems to barely kiss its steep hillside site before jutting through the air, cutting between clusters of cedar trees toward the lake beyond.
Mr. Januario runs his own, successful interior design studio that is “renowned for high-end interiors,” according to La Presse. For a long time, he wanted a Laurentian escape. But finding the right property – one on an ultraclean, quiet lake prohibiting motorized vehicles, close to skiing, grocery stores and, critically, near a hospital if his young daughter, Alicia, ever got sick – took time.
Boomtown’s work appealed to her because it often creates intimate ties between the architecture and the nature around it. “Inside-outside transitions are very important to me,” says Mr. Tremblay, noting how crucial that relationship was for the Januario site, which didn’t previously have a dwelling on it, just trees and walking paths.
