Sutton House / Pelletier De Fontenay
Pelletier de Fontenay's Transformation of a Century-Old Home in the Eastern Townships Tucked away within the picturesque landscape of Quebec's Eastern Townships, Sutton House stands as a complete overhaul and extension of an early 20 century stone house. Originally built in 1908 and modestly expanded in the 1950s, the house had remained largely unaltered since. With its heavy walls, hulking geometry, and oversized chimneys, it bore the characteristics of a smallish manor rather than a traditional country home. Inside, the small windows and the unusual layout made the space feel awkward and narrow, while outside, the mismatched stone walls were held together by a conspicuous grey cement mor tar, which took away from the natural appeal of the stone.
