We offer you a virtual visit to Canada, where among the forested landscape of Morin Heights sits a cozy house with an interesting interior and façade architecture.
This family abode stands on the edge of a hillside, where it is enveloped by trees and woodland thickets. In order to create an inconspicuous exterior among the landscape, the decision was made not to create a structure that exceeded one level. So appeared a one-story small cottage, which has the shape of a rectangle, was equipped with a garage next to it, to which the unpaved road is laid.
The siding is finished in white cedar wood, which has a soft honey color at first, but over time, under the influence of the sun and other natural factors, it will acquire a gray color, unnoticeable among the bark of the trees.
The simple and modern Canadian home has an interesting appearance, with the added sophistication of the windows, which have received a lot of attention. They dilute the monotonous image, introducing bursts of white inserts and niches, fill the interior space with natural light. You can also enjoy watching the surrounding countryside from inside, marveling at the changing weather and the changing seasons.
Inside there is a curious version of the interior of the kitchen, which is the central area. Elegant countertops and spacious workspaces create a captivating island look with flashes of natural color and glimpses of metallic details. One side accommodates the dining room for the whole family, the other the living room. The dazzling whiteness of the walls is complemented by bright lighting and creates a fascinating effect. Soft couches, a fireplace that is stoked with wood, a home library, they come together to create an atmosphere of homey, comfortable modern living. The flooring consists of polished tiled concrete that extends beyond the interior space.
The spacious veranda, which during the warmer months holds an alfresco dining area and terrace, allows you to enjoy the clean air and beauty of the surroundings.
