Architectural cottages nestled at the edge of a protected natural park

BESIDE Habitat Lanaudière is a place where solitude rubs shoulders with gatherings – colleagues, families, friends, strangers. Where ideas are shared around a fire and a good glass of whiskey. A place to imagine new stories, while taking part in them.

APPROCHE

Un lieu où nature, culture et architecture se rencontrent.

BESIDE Habitat est bien plus qu’un projet architectural : c’est une vision. Un espace imaginé pour rassembler, inspirer et reconnecter avec l’essentiel. Un lieu où le temps ralentit et où chaque élément, du paysage aux matériaux, est pensé pour favoriser l’équilibre entre nature et culture.
Dès sa conception, BESIDE Habitat a mobilisé une diversité de talents – architectes, designers, artisans, biologistes et penseurs – pour créer un lieu qui réconcilie modernité et héritage naturel. Ici, la nature n’est pas un décor, mais un acteur central qui influence chaque détail du projet. Ce sanctuaire est conçu pour encourager la créativité, les échanges et la contemplation.
