VidaSpace catalogue
Client: VidaSpace
Project: Product catalogue
The 2017 VidaSpace product catalogue contained an inspiration chapter, showing examples of their timber products in use in residential and hospitality interiors.
Folio wrote 24 project descriptions for the catalogue and the introductory pages for the sourcebook and each product category. Written for designers, architects and specifiers, it was important to show the character of each product range and how these designer timbers have been applied in high-end settings.
Excerpt:
Modern Farmhouse, Quebec
This contemporary farmhouse in North Hatley, Quebec is an authentic hybrid of historic Quebec and Ontario barns types. Lee and MacGillivray Architecture Studio write about the project inspiration, and translating barn architecture into a family home. Photography by Stephane Groleau and Laetitia Boudaud.
An hour and a half east of Montreal the landscape begins to rise into rolling farmland punctuated by lakes and small mountains. Just before you reach Vermont, the town of North Hatley sits at the unlikely meeting point of the north-eastern United States and Quebec. The farms around the town of North Hatley are as much connected to the culture of the early American colonies as they are to the Quebecois barns of the seigneuries. It is this rich heritage of agricultural building in the area that is the backdrop for the ‘Township’s Farmhouse’.
