Montreal-based architect Paul Bernier created an extension and transformed the Bernier-Thibault residence in his home town to accommodate a family of four. Developing a design that would allow natural light to penetrate the house, Bernier relied on an opening in the West corner to allow natural light to flow in and filter its way to the ground floor through a semi-transparent wood trellis bridge. These semi-transparent surfaces along with sliding walls and openings allow for the division and interaction of spaces within the house.
