位于圣布鲁诺山脚下的蒙彼利埃住宅，坐落在蒙特利尔南岸的茂密森林景观中。这座当代住宅被构想为一处静谧的避世所与沉思空间。

室内设计联盟："您将自己的作品形容为“在功能与美学交汇处创造有机而鲜活的环境”，这种理念如何在实际设计中得以体现？"

cool-de.com："You describe your work as creating “organic and vibrant environments” at the intersection of functionality and aesthetics—how has this philosophy materialized in your design practice?“

Vives St-Laurent："对我们而言，“有机”的环境是自然的、可被生活化的，并且在情感上保持一致性。一个好的空间应该能够支持日常生活，同时带来轻松与连接感。我一直对空间带来的情绪反应非常敏感，而这种情感品质也是我们在设计中格外关注的。在实践中，这意味着设计出的空间功能性很强，却不会显得僵硬；美观，却不会过度。我们设计的空间能够随着居住者的生活而演变，每一个元素都有其目的性，但同时也为个人表达留下余地。让空间“鲜活”的，不是装饰本身，而是使用方式、材料与光线的互动，以及布局的流动性。装饰当然存在，但它始终是为氛围服务，而不是主导。"

Vives St-Laurent：”for us, an organic environment is one that feels natural, lived-in, and emotionally coherent. A well-designed space should support daily life while also creating a sense of ease or connection. I’ve always been sensitive to how a space can make you feel, and that emotional quality is something we care deeply about in our work. In practice, this means creating spaces that are functional without feeling rigid, and beautiful without being overdone. We design places that can evolve with the people who live in them, where every element has a purpose but still leaves space for personal expression. What brings vibrancy to a space is how it’s used, how materials interact with light, and how the layout flows. Decoration has its place, but it always supports the atmosphere rather than taking over.“

位于圣布鲁诺山脚下的蒙彼利埃住宅，坐落在蒙特利尔南岸的茂密森林景观中。被浓密的树冠环绕，这座住宅低调地隐匿在环境中，仿佛倚靠在山体上，让山成为自然的背景。这座当代住宅被构想为一处静谧的避世所与沉思空间。该项目由 Vives St-Laurent 设计事务所与 ATA Architecture 合作完成，共分为三层，其中花园层部分嵌入自然坡地之中。这一巧妙的布局使建筑能够优雅地顺应地势，与邻里间大多建于 20 世纪 60 年代的常规住宅类型形成鲜明对比。

Located at the foot of Mount Saint-Bruno, on the South Shore of Montreal, the Montpellier residence blends into a richly natural forest landscape. Surrounded by a dense canopy, the house discreetly nestles into its environment, seeming to slide against the mountain that here acts as a backdrop. This contemporary residence was conceived as a place of refuge and contemplation.he result of a collaboration between the Vives St-Laurent design studio and ATA Architecture, the project unfolds over three levels, including a garden-level floor partially buried in the natural slope. This sensitive placement allows the building to elegantly follow the terrain’s incline, deliberately breaking away from the more conventional typologies in the neighborhood, which were mostly built in the 1960s.

平面布局围绕一个内庭展开，而大面积玻璃的后立面则向森林敞开。从入口进入，一条线性的门厅引导至略低于地坪的客厅。这个温暖的空间由壁炉点缀，并通过双层挑高的天花板赋予戏剧性效果，长长的竖直窗帘进一步强调了空间的高度。左侧为更私密的区域：小书房、办公室、健身房及通往地下室的入口；右侧为主要的生活空间：厨房、餐厅和通往楼上的楼梯。所有空间在直觉的流动中相互衔接，没有突兀的隔断。

The plan is organized around an interior courtyard, while the largely glazed rear façade opens onto the forest. From the entrance, a linear vestibule leads to a slightly sunken living room, carved into the slab. This warm space is punctuated by a fireplace and animated by a double-height ceiling, emphasized by a long vertical curtain highlighting the dramatic elevation of the volume. To the left are more private areas: boudoir, office, workout room, access to the basement. To the right, the living spaces: kitchen, dining room, and stairs leading upstairs. All spaces flow in an intuitive circulation without abrupt partitions.

室内空间体现了居住者的生活方式：优雅、精致且温暖。门厅的地面采用色彩变化的陶瓷铺设，仿佛不规则的板岩肌理。克制而几何的建筑语言通过细微的设计被柔化：壁炉台的圆润线条、家具与墙体中融入的曲线。客厅的核心是一处覆盖加州进口陶瓷砖的线性体量，突出壁炉这一业主钟爱的元素。由和纸制成的 Tekio 吊灯，将柔和的光线洒入挑高空间。整体材质调色由自然浅色橡木与深色染橡木构成，在统一中形成丰富对比。

The interior reflects the occupants’ lifestyle: elegant, refined, yet warm. The vestibule floor, made of ceramic with varied tones, evokes slate laid in an opus incertum pattern. The architectural language, sober and geometric, is softened by subtle interventions: rounded lines on the fireplace mantle, curves integrated into the furniture and walls. The living room is dominated by a linear volume covered in terracotta ceramic imported from California, highlighting the fireplace, a client favorite. The Tekio pendant light, made of washi paper, diffuses a soft light into the double-height space. The palette plays off natural white oak and dark-stained oak, offering a rich and coherent contrast.

蒙彼利埃住宅是业主、建筑师与设计师密切合作的成果。该项目展示了深植于场地的当代建筑，每一个细节都为营造既诗意又深思的生活体验而服务。

The Montpellier residence is a testament to the close collaboration between client, architects, and designers. The project showcases contemporary architecture rooted in its site, where every detail contributes to creating a living experience both poetic and thoughtful.
