The BESIDE chalets are inspired by the fundamental idea of a forest refuge. They marry design, minimalism and local materials. Through this project, the architecture firm puts forth compact and well thought-out living spaces, eliminating anything superfluous to maintain only the essential; a vibrant space where nature and architecture meet.
“We wanted to create living spaces that reflect our ability to adapt to the environment, which we do by offering different models of cabins located on lots with distinct vegetation and topography. You choose an architectural concept, not an address.”
Eliane Cadieux, chief creative officer and co-founder of BESIDE.
