As you ascend the ridge, a breathtaking panorama unfolds before your eyes. Below, the verdant valley stretches out, adorned with lush greenery and the vast expanse of the ocean beyond. This is Shobac, a picturesque seaside village that resembles a monumental work of land art. What lies before you? A futuristic fishing village? A monastery transported from another planet? A utopian colony with a profound message for the world? Shobac is internationally acclaimed as the masterpiece of renowned Canadian architect Brian Mackay-Lyons. In collaboration with his wife Marilyn Mackay-Lyons and their family, he has created a unique community atop the granite ruins of a historic settlement on the fog-kissed coast of Nova Scotia, an area documented on Champlain's first map of North America from 1604. Among the structures at Shobac are homes, barns, studios, cottages, fishing shacks, a boathouse, and even a schoolhouse, all designed in Mackay-Lyons's captivating architectural language that seamlessly blends contemporary Modernism with the rich traditions of Nova Scotia building. It is a sublime achievement that evokes a sense of timelessness, as if it belongs equally to the past and the future. It serves as a living testament to how landscape, climate, culture, and architecture can harmoniously converge to elevate the human experience.
