A couple from the Montreal area acquired a beautiful plot of land near the Massif de Charlevoix with the aim of building a ski chalet. They will be able to enjoy the slopes; the secondary home will become a family gathering place and their primary residence in retirement.

The rooms follow in a sequence that culminates in a large terrace. A walkway runs alongside the living spaces and allows the extension of the interior to the exterior through the seasons. ↓

The walkway widens, and a nook is inserted into the volume, becoming a true cocoon sheltered from the strong winds. ↓

This outdoor space creates a pause between the activity areas and the master suite, the most intimate part of the house. The bedroom is set into the wooded area and backs up against the rising cliff. ↓

La Longue Vue, perched on a plateau on the mountainside, offers a simple yet effective way to appreciate the landscape through its parallel orientation to the river. The linear shape of the house and the arrangement of the interior and exterior spaces allow one to enjoy the various qualities of the site throughout the seasons and the time of day. ↓
