Maryse Leduc was one of the first, 25 years ago, to promote the concept of a healthy and ecological house. “I used to look like an enlightened person reading labels!” This forward-thinking architect, whom the community agrees is gifted, recently signed the 1,000th project in a career devoted to single-family homes of all categories, including renovations, with particular leadership in country homes and private estate design.

Custom-designed by architect Maryse Leduc, the house incorporates many of the principles of green architecture: it is oriented according to the path of the sun; no materials are sourced from far away and many were reclaimed or recycled; the birch floor in the bedroom is made from trees cut from the land during road construction; as few trees as possible were cut down; the house does not have a basement because it would have required blasting; organic linseed oil was applied to the wood, which is ubiquitous; non-toxic paint was used; terracotta tiles were preferred in the solarium because they retain the sun’s warmth in winter. Terracotta tiles were also installed in the kitchen, dining room and living room, all around the masonry heater, as they store the heat produced, etc.<\/em><\/p>\n

“A cottage should bring us back to what we want to live and not necessarily to what we have lived. A cottage should bring us back to authenticity and to who we are,” explains Maryse Leduc. The architect does not like glitz. The woman who was the priestess of the ecological house 20 years ago swears by healthy materials, starting with wood. A wooden house is a house that breathes.<\/em><\/p>\n

“We live in a society of abundance. As a result, we are distracted from what is really important. We should question our needs. For example, do we need such big houses? People still don’t realize that every housing decision has an impact on the environment,” she says.<\/em><\/p>\n

They are good houses, as they say, “good bread”. Inside, they have the warm blondness, thanks to the rather sumptuous marriage of wood, omnipresent, and natural light, delivered generously with an architectural design that fully relies on passive solar energy. On the outside, their colors seem to come straight out of our Laurentian forest catalog, while their structure often evokes the country classicism of New England, but in a very updated style. Maryse Leduc’s houses are alive and have a signature: many people say they can recognize them among all others. <\/em>[…] Beautiful<\/em> healthy, ecological and solar<\/em> solar energy, in the respect of the<\/em> geobiology and feng-shui.

He had never considered himself a healthy-house enthusiast but after meeting Leduc-Cummings at her booth in a local home show, he was won over by her approach. ”When she explained her work to me, everything made sense; I made the connection between what I wanted and her philosophy about housing,” he said. Now that he had found someone who understood what he didn’t want and was actually implementing these ideas, King was hooked, and the two began the process of planning and building his house.<\/em><\/p>\n

Once she has seen the land, walked it up and down several times, discussed priorities regarding views, access, sunlight and the needs of her clients, Maryse is carried away by the project. <\/em>[…]With a sketchbook always at hand, she collates the first images that emerge from her mind. […] For architect Maryse Leduc-Cummings, a country house should not resemble a city or suburban house parachuted into the wilderness. Rather, it should display an atmosphere, a light, a unique cachet. And also to take advantage of the site, the views and the solar orientation, so that the land and the house enhance each other and you feel that one cannot go without the other.<\/em><\/p>\n

(Editor’s note: Many contractors perceive architects as intellectuals disconnected from their reality). But Maryse is an incredible girl. She gets involved in a project with her heart and soul.

    The place where we live reflects our personality, it is our anchor, our root, our center of the world. It is also our third skin – the other two being our epidermis and our clothes. Beyond appearances, behind the scenes, there is a link between our health and our habitat: the air we breathe, the electromagnetic fields to which we are exposed, the positive or negative ions present in the air, the presence or absence of sunlight, the nature of the soil… all these parameters have an impact on our quality of life, our comfort and our health.<\/em><\/p>\n

    The act of building, of constructing, of edifying deserves respect, since it participates in the creation of the world, in space and in time. Digging the earth, pouring concrete, erecting a column, fixing a beam, carpentry a roof, dressing walls, sanding a floor, wrapping half-timberings, paving a hinge, nailing a frame, oiling a molding, so many gestures potentially imbued with poetry, where the love of a job well done seems to be mysteriously impregnated in the material to make it radiate, to the delight of all the senses, from the visual to the tactile, up to this palpable sensation of the beloved places.<\/em><\/p>\n

    The ecological dimension of architecture cannot be reduced solely to the question of the use of non-toxic materials or to any technique, however ancient or avant-garde it may be. The original meaning of the word ecology – oikos in Greek = science of the house – refers to the relationship between humans and their habitat. The concern to build a healthy, harmonious and living environment requires a global approach considering the human being in all its dimensions: physical, psychological, dreamlike, spiritual. Humans have their physical needs, of course, but also their symbols, their dreams, their aspirations.<\/em><\/p>\n
