L'OBSERVATOIRE | Architect's residence rooted in La Malbaie

Resolutely contemporary, the architecture, achievable thanks to the BONE Structure construction system, integrates perfectly with the surrounding nature. The Observatory is like the forest that surrounds it. It is deeply rooted in the ground and rises to the tops of trees. The wooden exterior cladding echoes the interior of the house as a natural extension. Small winks to the BONE Structure steel structure have been highlighted to recall the exceptional solidity and originality offered by this rental cottage. The building consists of sets of superimposed blocks isolating living spaces from private spaces. All rooms have views and plenty of natural light. Maybe you'll see a plump porcupine frolicking there. The unparalleled windows on the upper floor act as a pair of giant glasses constantly connected to the river, the boats, the birds, the sky, the stars and the trees. This open living space, where white predominates, extends outside onto a magnificent terrace surrounded by a glass guardrail. An atmosphere of lightness, fluidity and intimacy reigns there. Time no longer has a hold. The materials used; wood, concrete, steel, steel, quartz, glass add a touch of luxury that make renting this cottage an experience worth repeating. To see without being seen, the Charlevoix Observatory 🙌🏼 ** Note that the quality of the wifi is not optimal.
