Emerging Canadian architect Olivier Bourgeois studied at Laval University in Quebec, where he now teaches part-time. After a stint at Todd Saunders in Norway, and the completion of a number of independent architecture projects, Bourgeois is about to launch his own practice with Régis Lechasseur, also from Laval University. Bourgeois draws inspiration from 'the poetry of the landscape and the basic rules of construction used in maritime contexts'. The scale model for his Sandhouse, a monolithic block with minimalist openings, was made out of sand by Magdalen Islands' Artisans du Sable, underlining Bourgeois' collaborative and craft-orientated approach
