Canadian studio Bricault Design has created a cabin<\/a>\u00a0informed by adjacent mountain peaks, featuring green roofs<\/a> and slate<\/a> cladding, to age in tandem with its wooded site in British Columbia<\/a>, Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n

Known as Whistler Hideaway, the 1,268-square-foot (118-square-metre) residence balances the relationship between the sanctuary of the interior and the rugged landscape around the cabin.<\/p>\n

Bricault Design<\/a>, a Vancouver-based practice, prioritised pedestrian and vehicular approaches that allowed residents and visitors to make the structure appear embedded in the landscape.\u00a0 The siting also preserved existing wildlife corridors for local fauna.<\/p>\n

“We wanted the architecture to share a language with the surrounding peaks, resulting in an angular, rugged form reminiscent of the steep shale slopes found above the tree line,” Marc Bricault told Dezeen, explaining that the self-contained cabin nestles into the property without interrupting the view corridor.<\/p>\n

“Complemented by coastal Douglas fir and terraced green roofs, the design anchors itself in the forest while echoing the beauty of the alpine meadows.”<\/p>\n

On the exterior, charcoal slate tile, copper details and Douglas fir soffits will patina over time to further blend the cabin into the landscape. Durable porcelain floors transition seamlessly from the exterior to the interior.<\/p>\n

The program is arranged along the natural slope of the land with communal areas on the lower floors and private spaces on the upper levels, where Pacific madrone \u2013 a warm-toned native hardwood \u2013 creates an intimate, hand-crafted atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Hidden storage and integrated millwork carry throughout the cabin to reduce clutter and maximise the space.<\/p>\n
