She is then awarded the Medal of Excellence from the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC). A valedictorian, she is awarded a scholarship that allows her to travel to Europe to study contemporary housing and to complete internships in major architectural firms.<\/p>\n

Her travels are an enlightening introduction to ecological architecture and the trends of Europe, Asia and the Middle East. She is interested in several disciplines that will become an integral part of her approach: building biology, geobiology, Feng Shui, solar-passive architecture, and green architecture. Her great expertise, combined with her personal values based on a healthy lifestyle, make her a true pioneer of ecological architecture in Quebec.<\/p>\n

From 1980 to 1989, she works for the architectural firm Cardinal Hardy. In 1990, she undertakes a master\u2019s degree in architectural history and theory at McGill University, and then pursues doctoral studies in housing design at the Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, she pursues several activities while raising her three children. She gives numerous conferences and workshops, presides over various associations, is a member of juries for competitions, all while preparing a business plan to establish her own company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Since then, the architect has completed more than a thousand custom projects, using a variety of
techniques: straw bales, corded wood, round wood, post and beam, insulated formwork (concrete), clerestory, prefabricated walls injected with cellulose, etc.<\/p>\n

and in response to client demand, Maryse Leduc created her own collection of house plans, better known as Maison Vive\u00ae. This brand responds to a growing demand for turnkey service and simple, authentic and friendly country homes.<\/p>\n

To meet the needs of customers looking for a one-stop shop from design to completion, she adds project management expertise to her range of specialized residential services and offers her services as a general contractor. She can thus exercise
strict quality control, offer excellent customer service and build homes that are as beautiful as they are original.<\/p>\n

Maryse Leduc joins forces with businessman Michel Cadrin, owner of the Poh\u00e9n\u00e9gamook Sant\u00e9 Plein
Air health and recreation center. Together, they founded Poh\u00e9n\u00e9gamook sur le Lac, a magnificent domain where residents live in nature, following an integrated architectural concept. The enchanting site is located on the shore of
Lake Poh\u00e9n\u00e9gamook, two hours from Quebec City, and includes several houses and condominiums. With this real estate project, Maryse Leduc envisioned the creation of an ecovillage \u2013 that is, a living environment based on respect for nature and individuals.

his residential development of Domaine Charlevoix, in Baie-Saint-Paul and Les \u00c9boulements. She designs the gate,
the model homes, as well as the development of a high-end private domain: Les sommets de Baie-Saint-Paul, offering shared ownership tourist residences.<\/p>\n

The project will act as an example to the local and international community, positioning Quebec as a leader in sustainable and ecological water treatment as well as in green and hyper-efficient buildings. This project was selected as a finalist for the development of the former Quebec City Zoo site.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
