The overhanging roof of this lakeside residence in Quebec's Laurentian mountain range was designed by architecture studio YH2 to match the profile of a bird's wings.

The fold of the roof runs the length of the communal area, terminating at a perpendicular volume that houses the master suite ? a few steps down ? on one side and a garage on the other.
A metal and wood staircase with open risers doglegs up to the first floor, where three bedrooms sit on top of the garage. Across the landing and past the double-height space it overlooks, a private sitting and study area opens onto a terrace facing the lake.
The Laurentians is a popular destination for Montreal's residents to keep secondary homes. Other projects in the area include a stepped home that seems to nest into its rocky surroundings and a minimalist black cabin that encompasses a single room.
