Long and narrow, clad in brick and topped with a boldly angled roof, it exudes timeless elegance while remaining resolutely modernist.

Bathed in morning light, the sinuous roofs and omnipresent glass accentuate the long facade. The terrace, protected from the wind by the living room extension, stretches to connect the sauna to the hot tub, the lower gallery to the upper gallery. Native plants grow alongside grass, creating a wild and unstructured effect. It is a small spa in nature, exactly as the owners requested, and the peaceful and healing effects are felt from the outset.

Beautiful trees, a clearing well protected from view. Le Hibou, this beautiful single-story house, minimalist and discreet, unfolds along the stream.

The living areas are spacious and high-ceilinged, leaving plenty of room for light and the forest. The changing colours of the landscape illuminate the neutral and discreet tones that adorn the interior. Whites, grays, a little wood. A touch of golden yellow, a nod to autumn... A place of pure beauty, a little wild...

Inside, the central axis is bright and unmissable. A white, refined path leads from the private spaces at the south end to the gathering places on the north side. Each room opens onto this unifying axis.
