  • La Pêche Town Hall to become first Passive House-certified institutional building in Quebec

    Main façade south. Photo credit: Stéphane Brügger
    The new La Pêche Town Hall, built on a promontory facing Route Principale, is a mass timber, highly energy-efficient building that will soon become the first Passive House-certified institutional building in Quebec.
    Rectangular in shape and located on an east-west axis, the building, by BGLA architecture + urban design, features a long façade which faces directly south onto the main road. This façade offers views of the hills of Gatineau Park from the inside, while also using natural solar gain to  serve as the building’s primary heating source.
    Main façade south. Photo credit: Stéphane Brügger
    The presence of wood is felt inside and outside the project. Eastern cedar cladding envelops all the façades, while the glulam and cross-laminated timber structure is exposed and highlighted in each of the interior spaces.
    The mechanical systems are fully integrated into the architectural features, leaving the wooden surfaces unobstructed. The presence of the wood is also felt as a result of the direct and indirect lighting strategies.
    The sloping roof sections, which form large CLT boxes, are revealed from the outside at night. These boxes span the entire depth of the building and provide a second level without any columns or obstacles. This strategy makes the most of the CLT material by making the most of its bidirectional mechanical capabilities.
    Central hall upper floor. Photo credit: Stéphane Brügger
    Passive solar principles guided the design of the complex to achieve an exceptional level of energy performance; mechanical heating and cooling uses only 15 per cent of the energy of a comparable building built to current standards—a savings of 85 per cent.
    Guided by the principles of passive solar architecture, the building’s shape is a simple rectangle with its long side oriented along an east-west axis. Directly to the south, a lightweight steel structure rests in front of the building and forms a colonnade, balcony, and openwork sunshade.
    Open plan south. Photo credit: Stéphane Brügger
    At the center of the floor area is a large through-hall that connects the staff entrance and parking on the north side and the public entrance and landscaping on the south side. This double-height hall and its sculptural staircase constitute the heart of the project, and provides access to the public spaces of City Hall and the various service counters.
    Reception. Photo credit: Stéphane Brügger
    Office spaces and open work areas are located on the south side and benefit from magnificent views while being bathed in natural light. Executive offices are located in the center of the floor area and benefit from secondary daylight due to the glass partitions that run along them. Meeting rooms and various service or storage spaces are located on the north side, where windows are less abundant.

  • ‘Exemplary prototype for suburban home’ takes top RIBA North West award

    The Liverpool-based practice’s 232m2 Vestige project in Wilmslow was one of four schemes, chosen from a seven-strong shortlist, to pick up regional awards. It also took bagged the RIBA North West’s Small Project of the Year.
    The jury praised the Smith Young house, which recycled masonry from an existing Edwardian house on the plot to create load-bearing elements of the new structure, for its ‘subtle interplays of solid and void, of rendered ground floor and timber box above’ and its ‘clever details’.
    The other award winners were: OMA’s much-delayed and over-budget Aviva Studios in Manchester;  Cullinan Studio and 10architect’s The Catkin Centre and Sunflower House, a mental health centre for children in Liverpool; and Sheppard Robson’s new School of Science, Engineering and Environment for the University of Salford.

    This 15,300m2 project on the university's Peel Park Campus – which earned Matthew Taylor the region's Project Architect of the Year title – had been resubmitted after failing to bag a prize in 2024.
    The Client of the Year prize went to the Alder Hey NHS Foundation Trust, the backer of the 3,073m2 Catkin Centre scheme.
    Among those missing out were Lighthouse Church in the Wirral by shedkm and Campbell Driver Partnership’s restoration of the Grade II-listed Langdale Chase Hotel in Windermere.
    This year’s North West regional shortlist was almost half the size of the 13-strong list of contenders in 2024, when seven schemes went on to collect regional accolades.
    Source:Jack HobhouseThe School of Science, Engineering and Environment, University of Salford, Manchester, by Sheppard Robson
    RIBA North West jury chair Dominic Wilkinson, principal lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University, said: ‘The award winning projects from the North West region present a diverse example of the positive impact architecture can have on the lives of its users, with everything from medical buildings with highly challenging client requirements to single family houses enriching the lives of its owners. Public and private sectors are represented with schemes of all sizes and complexities.’Advertisement

    He added: ‘The winners ranging from large cultural venues delivering world-class innovative creative programmes to state of the art education facilities training future engineers, illustrate the value for clients and the public in commissioning quality architecture. These projects, taken together along with the larger selection of shortlisted schemes, demonstrate a positive future for architecture in the region.’
    All four projects will now be considered for an RIBA National Award, the winners of which will be announced in summer.
    The shortlist for the RIBA Stirling Prize – the UK’s best new building – will be drawn from the RIBA National Award-winning projects in September. The Stirling Prize winner will be announced in October.

  • #333;">Our 15 Favorite Cottage Gardens
    A few summers ago, when the culture was moving through micro trends as fast as they could be Instagrammed, Cottage Core was born.
    The trend, which came out of a Covid-influenced romanticism for living close to nature (but not ruffing it, à la gorpcore, fashion’s cousin trend), inspired an infusion of chintz and whicker-filled interiors, and, of course, lush English-style gardens.Flash forward to 2025.
    All those cottage gardens planted in early 2020—rustic, sophisticated, chic—are at their peak.
    And there really is something to an outdoor space that merges with the indoors, is there not? On a warm summer evening, when the bougainvillea is in bloom, and the grass is a bit damp, what could be more appealing than a home built to nestle into a fantastical garden.Here, we’ve collected some of our favorite cottage gardens.
    They range from fairy house gardens to campground landscape, historical (Anne Hathaway’s famed cottage that has inspired Shakespeare devotees the world over) to contemporary compound gardens in the woods.While we may have a specific notion of a cottage garden, but they are—and should be—as unique as the people who tend them.
    One lesson for planting your own? A small space is an asset rather than a limitation.Below, you’ll find 15 of our favorite cottage gardens from Marin County California to Stratford-Upon-Avon, England.William Jess LairdThis Amagansett cottage was literally designed for “summertime snoozes.” It’s also a good reminder that a delicate slate garden pathway can take you far.
    Designer Melissa Lee noted how “unexpected” the whole place felt, surrounded by the many mansions of the Hamptons.
    As she rightfully notes, the charm is in the surprise.
    A suggestion of mystery always adds to a cottage! Think The Secret Garden or the unexpectedly expansive Weasley Family home.Noe DewittVines climb up this 1920s English Art and Crafts style cottage in the Hamptons.
    The elegant and eclectic cottage was re-designed by Nick Olsen to emphasize outdoor living with comfy couches, a tiled patio and a pool.William James LairdThis pink cottage kitchen looks out over a garden in Litchfield County, Connecticut.
    Designer Clive Lonstein’s work is vibrant and unexpected, particularly for a modest Connecticut cottage built in the late 1800s.
    In a way though, the bright colors all throughout the house are a reflection of the original design for the house.
    The architect, Ehrick Rossiter was known for his own whimsy, and even included a turret in this design.
    This cottage is a great reminder to leave the door open all summer long.Stephen Kent JohnsonThis former fishing shack in Provincetown proves that a sprawling garden can fit into a small space.
    From Windex yellow fox gloves to arching lavender, this is a bucolic slice of heaven.
    A classic shingled home, complete with flower boxes and a white picket fence, it has a deeply cottage-core sequence backstory.
    It was used as an artist studio for William Maynard until his death in 2016, and when it was sold, prospective buyers were asked to write why they wanted to live there.Rachael SmithWe love an indoor / outdoor cottage garden.
    Ideally, you have a branch that grows through a window, like this one in Suzie de Rohan Willner’s English Country Garden.
    It is a charming marriage of dynamics: English and French, contemporary and historical, and, of course just as eclectic as a cottage should be.
    Willner notes, “The whole house is a collection of things from each period of my and my husband’s lives.
    I love to pick up bibs and bobs and it all comes together very happily.”Chronicle / Alamy Stock PhotoKate Middleton’s Adelaide Cottage conjures images of an Arthurian fantasy.
    The Wales family made this their Windsor home since 2023.
    Built in 1831 for Queen Adelaide (the German-born wife of William IV, who was the Uncle of Queen Victoria).
    It went through a transformative renovation in 2015 which left the historical decorations in tact.
    Fun fact: the Wales family pay market rent for their use of the home.Photo 12//Getty ImagesThe poet, actor, and playwright Anne Hathaway’s famed cottage and accompanying garden must have inspired her husband’s plays (that would be Shakespeare).
    This might be what comes to mind when you think of a cottage garden.
    Now open to the public daily, it was originally built more than 500 years ago, and is the site of Hathaway’s own birth in 1556.CostcoThis Costco (yes, Costco!) shed turned cottage is an ideal backdrop for your cottage garden fantasy.
    If you’re feeling very DIY this year, start here.
    Priced at $6,499, it measures 12’ x 24’ feet, a perfect amount of space for your own summer hide away or gardening shed.Richard PowersThis glass house is a reminder that a cottage garden doesn’t have to follow a prescribed style.
    The Amagansett cottage, originally built in 1960, is a marvel of mid-century design, an aesthetic reflected in the mod-furniture choices.
    Again, we love a stylistic mix in an updated cottage.
    Japanese Maple Trees complete the woodsy vibe.© David Hockney, Photo By Jonathan WilkinsonDavid Hockney illustrated his own cottage garden during the Pandemic.
    His drawing is illustrative of the benefits of an English garden: a bit wild, extremely lush, and more green than anything else.
    If we could, we’d jump right into this scene like Mary Poppins on a rainy day.John M.
    Hall for ELLE DecorHere’s a rule of thumb: trust Ina Garten.
    This cottage-like structure, on the grounds of the East Hampton home Garten shares with her husband Jeffrey, is perennially perfect.
    Note, too, the green and purple color scheme here.
    This is perhaps the dream cottage garden and something of a childhood playhouse.
    It has just enough space for a cozy chat and is a reminder that you can build your own little cottage on a very small plot of land.Photo 12//Getty ImagesMarie Antoinette’s Hamlet on the grounds of Versailles still sets the standard for the cottage garden with a thatched roof, hedges, and roses straight out of a fairy tale.
    During the former French Queen’s reign, her hamlet was used as a faux farm house, where she and her young daughter, Princess Marie Thérèse, would dress as idealized versions of French peasant farmers and milk cows.
    The interior, though, of this modest cottage, is appropriately grand with silk furnishings and canopy beds.Douglas FriedmanA garden that proves succulents and cottages are a match made in heaven.
    This one, in Marin County, California, adds a bit of desert flair.
    On the other side of this cottage is a water way and a perfect little dock for launching paddle boards.
    We love how the greens liven up this side of the house and create a completely different, almost modern desert-like, aesthetic.
    As with any great cottage garden, there is a distinctly transportive factor.Michael CliffordA light wood sauna and cold plunge on the grounds of Jenni Kayne’s Hudson Valley farmhouse are hidden behind shrubbery for a sense of privacy against a wide open landscape.
    We love the idea of adding a spa-like ambiance to a cottage garden as well as finding inventive ways to use the space.
    This is exactly where we want to be in the summer!Getty ImagesThis is sort of cheating, but Bunny Williams is a necessary inclusion! Williams’s Oak Spring Garden in Upperville, Virginia continues to inspire garden and cottage enthusiasts the world over.
    Rather than one cottage, the grounds of Williams’s large estate feature a guest cottage and a basket house, both of which are charming in the extreme.Dorothy ScarboroughDorothy Scarborough (she/her) is the assistant to the Editor in Chief of Town & Country and Elle Decor.

The Amagansett cottage, originally built in 1960, is a marvel of mid-century design, an aesthetic reflected in the mod-furniture choices. Again, we love a stylistic mix in an updated cottage. Japanese Maple Trees complete the woodsy vibe.© David Hockney, Photo By Jonathan WilkinsonDavid Hockney illustrated his own cottage garden during the Pandemic. His drawing is illustrative of the benefits of an English garden: a bit wild, extremely lush, and more green than anything else. If we could, we’d jump right into this scene like Mary Poppins on a rainy day.John M. Hall for ELLE DecorHere’s a rule of thumb: trust Ina Garten. This cottage-like structure, on the grounds of the East Hampton home Garten shares with her husband Jeffrey, is perennially perfect. Note, too, the green and purple color scheme here. This is perhaps the dream cottage garden and something of a childhood playhouse. It has just enough space for a cozy chat and is a reminder that you can build your own little cottage on a very small plot of land.Photo 12//Getty ImagesMarie Antoinette’s Hamlet on the grounds of Versailles still sets the standard for the cottage garden with a thatched roof, hedges, and roses straight out of a fairy tale. During the former French Queen’s reign, her hamlet was used as a faux farm house, where she and her young daughter, Princess Marie Thérèse, would dress as idealized versions of French peasant farmers and milk cows. The interior, though, of this modest cottage, is appropriately grand with silk furnishings and canopy beds.Douglas FriedmanA garden that proves succulents and cottages are a match made in heaven. This one, in Marin County, California, adds a bit of desert flair. On the other side of this cottage is a water way and a perfect little dock for launching paddle boards. We love how the greens liven up this side of the house and create a completely different, almost modern desert-like, aesthetic. As with any great cottage garden, there is a distinctly transportive factor.Michael CliffordA light wood sauna and cold plunge on the grounds of Jenni Kayne’s Hudson Valley farmhouse are hidden behind shrubbery for a sense of privacy against a wide open landscape. We love the idea of adding a spa-like ambiance to a cottage garden as well as finding inventive ways to use the space. This is exactly where we want to be in the summer!Getty ImagesThis is sort of cheating, but Bunny Williams is a necessary inclusion! Williams’s Oak Spring Garden in Upperville, Virginia continues to inspire garden and cottage enthusiasts the world over. Rather than one cottage, the grounds of Williams’s large estate feature a guest cottage and a basket house, both of which are charming in the extreme.Dorothy ScarboroughDorothy Scarborough (she/her) is the assistant to the Editor in Chief of Town & Country and Elle Decor.

    Our 15 Favorite Cottage Gardens
    A few summers ago, when the culture was moving through micro trends as fast as they could be Instagrammed, Cottage Core was born. The trend, which came out of a Covid-influenced romanticism for living close to nature (but not ruffing it, à la gorpcore, fashion’s cousin trend), inspired an infusion of chintz and whicker-filled interiors, and, of course, lush English-style gardens.Flash forward to 2025. All those cottage gardens planted in early 2020—rustic, sophisticated, chic—are at their peak. And there really is something to an outdoor space that merges with the indoors, is there not? On a warm summer evening, when the bougainvillea is in bloom, and the grass is a bit damp, what could be more appealing than a home built to nestle into a fantastical garden.Here, we’ve collected some of our favorite cottage gardens. They range from fairy house gardens to campground landscape, historical (Anne Hathaway’s famed cottage that has inspired Shakespeare devotees the world over) to contemporary compound gardens in the woods.While we may have a specific notion of a cottage garden, but they are—and should be—as unique as the people who tend them. One lesson for planting your own? A small space is an asset rather than a limitation.Below, you’ll find 15 of our favorite cottage gardens from Marin County California to Stratford-Upon-Avon, England.William Jess LairdThis Amagansett cottage was literally designed for “summertime snoozes.” It’s also a good reminder that a delicate slate garden pathway can take you far. Designer Melissa Lee noted how “unexpected” the whole place felt, surrounded by the many mansions of the Hamptons. As she rightfully notes, the charm is in the surprise. A suggestion of mystery always adds to a cottage! Think The Secret Garden or the unexpectedly expansive Weasley Family home.Noe DewittVines climb up this 1920s English Art and Crafts style cottage in the Hamptons. The elegant and eclectic cottage was re-designed by Nick Olsen to emphasize outdoor living with comfy couches, a tiled patio and a pool.William James LairdThis pink cottage kitchen looks out over a garden in Litchfield County, Connecticut. Designer Clive Lonstein’s work is vibrant and unexpected, particularly for a modest Connecticut cottage built in the late 1800s. In a way though, the bright colors all throughout the house are a reflection of the original design for the house. The architect, Ehrick Rossiter was known for his own whimsy, and even included a turret in this design. This cottage is a great reminder to leave the door open all summer long.Stephen Kent JohnsonThis former fishing shack in Provincetown proves that a sprawling garden can fit into a small space. From Windex yellow fox gloves to arching lavender, this is a bucolic slice of heaven. A classic shingled home, complete with flower boxes and a white picket fence, it has a deeply cottage-core sequence backstory. It was used as an artist studio for William Maynard until his death in 2016, and when it was sold, prospective buyers were asked to write why they wanted to live there.Rachael SmithWe love an indoor / outdoor cottage garden. Ideally, you have a branch that grows through a window, like this one in Suzie de Rohan Willner’s English Country Garden. It is a charming marriage of dynamics: English and French, contemporary and historical, and, of course just as eclectic as a cottage should be. Willner notes, “The whole house is a collection of things from each period of my and my husband’s lives. I love to pick up bibs and bobs and it all comes together very happily.”Chronicle / Alamy Stock PhotoKate Middleton’s Adelaide Cottage conjures images of an Arthurian fantasy. The Wales family made this their Windsor home since 2023. Built in 1831 for Queen Adelaide (the German-born wife of William IV, who was the Uncle of Queen Victoria). It went through a transformative renovation in 2015 which left the historical decorations in tact. Fun fact: the Wales family pay market rent for their use of the home.Photo 12//Getty ImagesThe poet, actor, and playwright Anne Hathaway’s famed cottage and accompanying garden must have inspired her husband’s plays (that would be Shakespeare). This might be what comes to mind when you think of a cottage garden. Now open to the public daily, it was originally built more than 500 years ago, and is the site of Hathaway’s own birth in 1556.CostcoThis Costco (yes, Costco!) shed turned cottage is an ideal backdrop for your cottage garden fantasy. If you’re feeling very DIY this year, start here. Priced at $6,499, it measures 12’ x 24’ feet, a perfect amount of space for your own summer hide away or gardening shed.Richard PowersThis glass house is a reminder that a cottage garden doesn’t have to follow a prescribed style.
