The In Ponte house takes advantage of the rugged topography of its site to bridge two rocky mounds. This minimizes its footprint while creating striking connections with its surroundings. A dirt path allows passage beneath the bridge structure, while its walkway spaces offer sweeping views of the vast landscape below. A swing hangs beneath the black mass.

The inhabited bridge features a compact layout, resulting in a layering of simple, playful volumes. The rhythm of the interior grid is expressed through wooden cladding, treated with black pine tar. The open living area and the small mezzanine above it gently rise among the trees, welcoming sunlight from the south and offering views to the north of the peaks and valleys of Mont-Tremblant Park.

With a floor area of 1360 sq. ft. (127 m²), the small house includes two bedrooms and a bunk bed in the mezzanine.

The project is set to be completed in the mountains of La Conception in the spring of 2025.
