Alain Carle Architect has designed a lakeside home with black siding in Mont Tremblant, Canada, that’s situated on a steep site with a large flat rock cap.

This modern house includes black horizontal and vertical siding, a black roof, as well as black window and door frames.

The black exterior of the home allows it to stand out, yet at the same time, it complements the nature that surrounds it.

Stepping inside the home, we see there are polished concrete floors and warm wood details, with the entryway opening up to a wall of windows that look out onto the lake.
