Inspired by the typology of the modernist glass house, establishing an almost seamless connection with the surrounding forest, integrating harmoniously into the landscape.
The property
The stylish all-black exterior serves as a striking contrast to the warm, high-end plywood interior, allowing the building to blend in with its natural surroundings.
Moving away from the traditional Canadian cottage with its flat roof, our cabin offers a distinct aesthetic. The wide sliding doors connect seamlessly to a terrace, extending living space into the forest and allowing for a constant connection with nature regardless of the weather.
There is a container located at the entrance (not visible from the cabin), which we will renovate in spring with wooden upholstery. This is where the main key box is located.
