Summary
Montreal-based Atelier Carle has completed SONO Residence, a 2,300-square-foot mountainside house in Wentworth-North, Quebec. The home features an "unconventional layout" with folded walls, hemlock cladding, and board-formed concrete finishes. Designed in 2025 by founder Alain Carle, the residence stretches along a sloped site and was born from its natural context, integrating wood and concrete materials to harmonize with the mountainous landscape.
