APPAREIL architecture have designed this modern cottage with a separate garage, that sits surrounded by the forest in Austin, an Eastern Township in Quebec, Canada.

 

The inspiration for this cottage comes from traditional shapes and chalet designs, however the architects gave it a modern twist by creating a black monochrome exterior. #ModernCottage #BlackArchitecture

Inside, the interior uses light wood, plenty of windows and white accents to keep it bright, which is a strong contrast to the black exterior.

On the ground floor, there’s a living room and dining room at one end. A small fireplace and black dining chairs tie in with the black window frames.

A high vaulted ceiling creates a sense of openness, while the kitchen is located behind the dining room and living room, and underneath the upper floor of the home.

Next to the kitchen are the doors that lead out to the patio and a hallway leads to the other areas of the cottage.

Behind the kitchen there’s a mechanical room and a large walk-in storage room. Polished concrete has been used for the floor, while windows located throughout the cottage have views of the trees.

At the end of the hallway is the front door and a wood staircase that leads to the upper floor where there’s multiple bedrooms and a bathroom.
