The building blends in beautifully with the typical hillside countryside to the east of Quebec. Snow-capped mountain peaks and pastoral countryside views. Meeting the necessary requirements, the cottage neatly fits into the woodland, without disturbing the harmony between the modern building and the unique nature of the province.
