On the banks of the St. Lawrence River, in the municipality of Batiscan, the SM Residence faces an impressive view that is endlessly animated by the movement of water and the passage of cargo ships. Built on stilts with the intent of having the smallest footprint on site and to resist the small flooding events, this second home was designed so each space faces the river. With the aim of keeping the costs as efficient as possible, it features a compact form and fewer openings except for large windows aiming towards the most engaging views.
