The Le Refuge du Lac project, located by a lakeside on a wooded sloping site, embodies thoughtful and intimate architecture in harmony with its natural surroundings. Designed to benefit from the forest’s proximity and unique topography, this private retreat combines functionality with respect for the landscape.

The residence is strategically positioned to minimize deforestation, preserve existing vegetation, and maximize views while ensuring privacy. Large openings highlight the play of shadows cast by the surrounding trees, creating seamless integration between the home and its setting.
The interior spaces are meticulously designed to take advantage of sunlight and lake views. Distinct yet interconnected spaces provide complementary atmospheres: an open kitchen extending into the outdoor area, a panoramic terrace accessible through large doors, and a "conversation pit" with a fireplace for intimate moments. The basement houses a spacious secondary living area connected to a ground-level terrace, maintaining continuity between interior and exterior.

The master suite, set back from the main areas, features its own private terrace, offering a secluded and serene retreat. The project incorporates local natural materials and plans for a green roof to enhance its commitment to sustainability and landscape integration.

Le Refuge du Lac redefines the contemporary retreat experience, where every space adapts to the day’s changing moments and fulfills the occupants’ needs while celebrating the surrounding natural beauty.
