In Canada, on one of the slopes of Mount Quebec, a very unusual red cottage was built, erected according to the basic rules of minimalism in architecture and without any excesses.
The construction of this unusual building was engaged in the Canadian architectural studio called Kariouk Associates, the main activity of which is the design of houses and cottages. Although the coloring of the facade of the building is bright red, the home itself does not have a defiant look and makes it possible to live a comfortable living in any season. At the same time, the cottage fit very harmoniously into the landscape and even to some extent adorned the slope of Val de Mon. According to the standards adopted in Russian society, a dwelling in the middle of the forest, as a rule, should be a log cottage. However, the Kariouk Associates studio managed to personally imagine an alternative version of the mansion, designed according to the rules of the ultra-modern style. In addition to the bright red facade, the walls of the house are saturated with color, the windows are made as large as possible to enable the inhabitants of the country’s home to contemplate the surrounding landscape in all its unique beauty. A feeling of merging of the internal space of the premises of the cottage with nature around the dwelling is created, at the same time there are comfort and protection of the house. Thanks to spacious glazing, natural light penetrates into the rooms in large numbers. Features of the minimalist functional style turn the picturesque landscapes becomes the first violin of the interior. Thanks to the continuous glazing, the border between the landscape and the interior becomes inconspicuous, actually conditional. However, the residents of the house at the same time feel the comfort of staying in the walls of the cottage. Inside the mansion is divided into separate sectors, there is a social zone and bedrooms. The conceived concept was taken into account when carrying out repairs in the bathroom. The attic is simultaneously a children’s game room and acts as a kind of bridge connecting two zones.
