Altaïr House in Cap-à-l’Aigle

Altair House

Design: Bourgeois / Lechasseur architects. The name, Altaïr House, refers to the brightest star in the Aquila constellation. Altaïr House is located in Cap-à-l’Aigle, in the region of Charlevoix. Altaïr means “The Flying Eagle.” The building appears discrete from the street, but unfolds toward the river away from the street, as though ready to take flight.
