The Hatley House by Pelletier de Fontenay + François Abbott is characterized by having a main façade marked by the slope of its gable roof, with a simplistic and characteristic aspect of the area. The location of the same allows the house to enjoy a privileged view of the pastures, mountains and hills of its surroundings. This dwelling consite in three similar volumes connected in a coherent and diaphanous way, different from the external image of it, more confused due to the merging of the volumes. The lags between these volumes allow the creation of patios that close the house and generate a square around the set.
