It is the rustic look and the feel of seasoned wood that make this project so special. Located in the forest of the Eastern Townships, close to a quiet lake, this house is a true haven of tranquility.

The wood siding, with varying shades and textures, gives a unique character to the entire structure. Vertical planks harmonize perfectly with the abundant trees that surround the house, especially during the winter months.

Walls incorporate large windows and glass doors to create transparency throughout the house and allow light to fill the space.

At night, minimalist outdoor lighting complements the house's structure and highlights its distinctive materials. The metal roof, the different sidings and the tin-coloured windows bring a contemporary touch to the whole.
