In April 2022, Patrick Monast, an artist renowned for his sculptures and ephemeral works, approached us with a clear vision: to create an in-ground pool carved into the rock, without artifice, showcasing the stone in its purest form.
A project that seemed simple at first glance, yet ambitious in its execution. Through close collaboration and strong determination, we rose to the challenge and brought the vision to life.
On November 6, 2024, Patrick received the prestigious Project of the Year award in the Art and Photography category at the 17th edition of the Grands Prix du Design.
His work, Île de Champlain, also earned the following honours:
• Platinum Award – Art and Photography (Residential Space)
• Platinum Award – Pool and Terrace
• International Platinum Award – Art and Photography
