Located in the Hautes-Laurentides region, the Poisson Blanc Regional Park allows canoe campers and outdoor lovers to immerse into Quebec’s vast natural territory. The Park offers its visitors a forest accommodation concept that proposes a unique experience on the shores of the Poisson Blanc Lake. Le Pic is a shelter for four to six people designed by Atelier L’Abri in collaboration with interior designers Vives St-Laurent. It follows the creation of La Pointe, another shelter designed and built by L’Abri on the same site.

A short walk in a wooded path leads to the cabins. From the path, the rear and side facades, as well as the regular frame of the windows appear through the foliage. The simple, elongated massing, with a single-pitched roof, creates a long covered balcony that opens onto the cedar forest and tranquil lake. The natural eastern white cedar siding, a native tree species of the region, will gray over the years.

The entrance passes through a screened-in veranda, which also gives access to a summer bed located on the mezzanine. Inside, the minimalist layout of the main living room is organized around the built-in furniture that serves as storage, kitchen, and seating. A day bed placed near the stove allows you to store firewood while creating a place to enjoy the warmth of the fire. The large sliding glass door gives direct access to the covered terrace.

The second level includes two custom-made double beds with built-in storage and lighting. The layout of the night area offers travelers privacy and a breathtaking view of the surrounding forest as soon as they wake up.

The project’s materials are both locally sourced and durable, resulting in an easy-to-maintain construction. Both compact and comfortable, the space can easily accommodate four to six travelers and offers a modular interior according to the needs of visitors. Soft and timeless, the Pic is a serene place that will allow visitors to fully enjoy the calm of nature.
