Beautiful Malaga

featuring a s16-H 58

At the intersection of traditional and modern architecture, La Belle Malaga efficiently blends authenticity and simplicity. In the heart of the Eastern Townships, this hideaway offers the opportunity to simply relax or to go out and chase the numerous outdoor adventures that the local area provides.

From the road, the cottage goes almost unnoticed. But as you walk towards the lake, you discover its full presence, its bold stance above the banks. From the living spaces, eyes cannot but gaze at the calm water of the lake.

Installed in specific locations, the full-length windows brighten the space with generous light while offering direct interactions with the natural surroundings.

With three levels, the building was designed to map the existing slope of the land. Outside, nature exposes its beauty. A particular attention was paid to the existing trees and their protection.

Facing the lake and stunning views, a terrace with a hot tub, a fire pit, and hanging chairs creates an inviting place to relax.

Sheltered from prying eyes through the strategic positioning of its living areas and the side windows, the chalet guarantees unforgettable moments amongst friends and family.
