e four bedrooms of the Blanche Chalet are
centrally located in order to maximize the panoramic
views of the living spaces that are at the top level.
e kitchen and dining room are characterized by
large 360-degree fenestration, while the living space
is housed in a floating overhang whose unique form
is reminiscent of the structure of vernacular bridges.
is raised volume allows for a direct experience
of the enchanting sunsets of Cap à l'Aigle and the
shimmering reflections of the estuary of the St.
Lawrence within the comforts of the home.
is cottage residence is the expression of the
atmosphere sought by its owner. e social nature
of the house, its openness to familial, friendly, and
sometimes professional exchanges are favoured by
its composition that sensitively juxtaposes the spaces
of common life and the private life (bedrooms).
e abundant use of fenestration underlines a
constant connection between the interior and nature,
including the lake and the forest. e use of natural
materials, such as stone, wood, and steel in pure and
unique forms links the building to the context and
invites contemplation.
