Chalet TISSARAOUATA, nestled in a maple forest, embraces an architectural vision that minimizes environmental impact. Inspired by indigenous longhouses, the design harmonizes with the land's topography. The compact structure features a flexible open-plan layout, accommodating up to 14 people, with space for children and future grandchildren. Cedar cladding creates a cluster of simple silhouettes, while large windows offer expansive views of the Shefford mountains. Knotty pine and minimalist furniture evoke warmth, tranquility, and a timeless connection to nature, enriching family bonds.
