Depuis quelques temps, je rêve et je viens de tomber sur ce type de photos qui me tiraillent encore plus !

Voici quelques belles images d’un chalet aux abords du Lac Ontario, un bijou de design Avouez que vous aimeriez prendre le petit déjeuner avec un levé de soleil sur le lac avec cette vue incroyable. La fenestration, je crois que c’est un courant qui gagne en popularité !

Le concept est simple. Des espaces ouvert et l’unicité entre l’intérieur et l’extérieur.

Voici un autre chalet qui me fait rêver

German industrial designers Patrick Frey and Björn Götte sketched out the Sommerhaus Piu (“more summer house”) as an adaptable, affordable, and potentially more sustainable getaway, and then built the first one as a showpiece in Pian, Germany. The cabin was prefabricated, hauled to the site, and then reassembled in a pretty, long-grass meadow some 40-odd miles north of Berlin.

It has a rather ingenious design: At one end of the elongated structure is a living room/dining space, while floating in the middle is peninsula connected to the back of the house, with a kitchen on one side and a bathroom on the other. Two small bedrooms at the back are divided by the neck of the peninsula (see floor plan below), and despite just 650 feet of interior space, it sleeps four comfortably.

A wood-slat deck surrounds the house on three sides, adding another 375 feet of floor and extending livability into the intertidal zone between nature and shelter. The roof, with its low pitch, clearly suggests low-snow environments, but it’s also easily adapted to a green roof or to be covered with solar panels. As built, the cost is about $157,000.
