The project
25:8 Architecture + Urban Design added an 800 square foot rear extension for a family of keen mountaineers. Two separate three-storey atriums have engineered beams and belay anchors in the ceiling, so the family can climb from the ground floor to a third-floor mezzanine.
A new main bedroom, clad in exposed plywood, floats within the triple-height space and has a cantilevered balcony looking out over the garden, with views to the Gatineau Hills. The extension also adds a kitchen, living room, laundry, bathroom and two bedrooms.
A plywood-clad stair rising through the atrium.
A tall plywood wall in the triple-height space.
