ARABELLA - Canadian Art, Architecture & Design Magazine - Spring 2015

In this issue

Welcome to Arabella Spring 2015. We hope you love this issue as much as all of us enjoyed putting it together. One of the things that we have tried to add more of, for this issue, is architecture and we are fortunate to have three beautiful homes portrayed on the pages of our spring issue.

Architecture and Design
It takes many things to make a home your own and establish your personal style. Art in both the home and garden defines who you are and personalizes your house like nothing else can. Like any painting that has a great frame, art can enhance the beauty around you. But, if you take that one step further and personalize both your home and garden you create a perfect framework for you and your lifestyle.
Not all of us are fortunate enough to have Richard Landry of Landry Design Group design and build our home, but we can wish and maybe some of us can. Richard is a great example of someone who designs and creates a masterpiece with the art, architecture and design in mind.
For this issue we have chosen one of Richard’s homes to be our front cover. This was one of the few photographs that delivers what Arabella is all about. Art, Architecture and Design - and this house showcases all of these components beautifully.
As with all the homes created by Landry Design Group you are always amazed at how the home seems to effortlessly belong to the land upon where it sits. Whether modern, classic, rural country or cutting edge the property and the home go together, the relationship is very clear. The landscape enhances the architecture and the grounds lead to the magnificent home.
This is very true of the lovely four season home in Mont Tremblant which was built on a beautiful wooded site on the edge of the lake. Tremblant presented a unique opportunity to build a family home among existing mature trees and boulder outcroppings, while also providing generous outdoor recreational space and expansive views across the lake.
