Long and narrow, adorned with bricks and topped with a roof with bold angles, it presents a timeless elegance, while being resolutely modernist.

It's on the courtyard side that it becomes truly dazzling!

Bathed in morning light, the sinuous roofs and ubiquitous glass accentuate the long facade. The terrace, sheltered from view by the extension of the living room, stretches out to connect the sauna to the hot tub, and the lower gallery to the upper gallery. Native plants mingle with grasses, creating a wild and unstructured effect. It's a small spa in nature, as envisioned from the outset by the owners, offering a peaceful and restorative atmosphere.

Beautiful trees, a clearing well protected from view. The Owl, this beautiful single-storey house, minimalist and discreet, unfolds there following the stream.

The living areas are vast and high-ceilinged, allowing ample space for light and the surrounding forest. The ever-changing colors of the landscape illuminate the neutral and understated tones that adorn the interior: whites, grays, a touch of wood, and a hint of golden yellow, a nod to autumn. A place of pure, slightly wild beauty.

Inside, a central, bright axis is essential. A clean, white path leads from the private spaces at the southern end to the gathering areas on the north side. Each room opens onto this central axis.
