Imagine. Living to the rhythm of the seasons.
A distinctive lifestyle, tucked away on the West side of Sommet Saint-Sauveur. By following the mountain’s natural path, you will find a residential domain breathing with contemporary and nordic character, offering one of the most exclusive views of the Laurentians.
A private trail surrounded by parks will take you directly to Sommet Saint-Sauveur’s charlift. This exceptional 53 residential buildings project has tons of options to offer. Lots size varies between 16 000 and 87 000 square feet and municipal water and sewer services, in addition to underground electrical infrastructure, are included.
Our vision
The Norden vision is part of an ecological and environmental perspective. Inspired by Scandinavian architecture, the buildings blend perfectly into the nordic landscape, both aesthetically and functionally.
- Nordic, contemporary and organic architecture;
- Distinctives and custom houses;
- Minimum deforestation of land;
- Trees disposition in harmony with the field’s topography;
- Rainwater sensors in parking areas;
- 6600 liters tank recuperating rainwater from the roof;
- Control pipe with pump to supply toilets and water outside.
Our water
recovery system
unique in Quebec
- Saves 30,000 liters of water / year / house;
- 6,600 liters tank on each lot;
- 80% water return in the tank, for water use outside and in the toilet;
- If water overflows the tank, it falls into a well built of rocks, designed to bring the water back to the ground (rather than to the aqueduc).
Architecture,
design and sidings
One of our goals is to create a feeling of prestige and homogeneity throughout Le Norden residences. To do so, it is essential to maintain a similar line of inspiration.
