This new property is located in the Charlevoix area of Quebec, overlooking the St. Lawrence River. The Le Massif ski area is about 20 minutes away. Designed by Bourgeois / Lechasseur Architects, Cabin A sits on a steep slope with an A-frame design that gives a nod to naval architecture, having found inspiration in nautical communications for the team.
The cabin’s triangular roof refers to sails in the wind, while the large wooden terrace refers to an upper deck on a ship. The wood paneling on the walls and ceiling also hint at the naval architecture. The entrance is under one of the sloping ceilings, which provides shelter when entering and exiting the residence. The contrast between light and blackened wood gives the cabin a bold, contemporary look.
The open plan living room, dining room and kitchen are under a double height ceiling clad in Russian plywood panels. The light wood forms a perfect contrast to the black-framed windows and the black details. The same wood on the walls was used to build seating and storage space in the corner of the living room. The wood paneling extends outwards and covers the surfaces of the covered terrace. This provides another contrast, this time with the house’s black exterior and dark metal roof. On the ground floor there are three bedrooms and a built in double bedroom with two sets of bunk beds. The attic on the upper floor is intended for children. It’s a children’s playground with comfortable furniture and cute toys designed in the same style as the rest of the house.
