TISSARAOUATA: A Minimalist Mountain Retreat
Chalet TISSARAOUATA, designed by Stroph Architecture & Design in Shefford, United Kingdom, is a minimalist retreat nestled in a mountainous maple forest. Embodying a deep respect for its natural surroundings, this chalet harmoniously blends with the landscape, minimizing its environmental impact. With careful consideration of the terrain, sun paths, and natural lines, it serves as a meditative space, offering an escape from urban life.
Inspired by indigenous longhouses, it’s both a family retreat and a sustainable architectural wonder, featuring a space-efficient design, natural cedar wood exteriors, and large openings for a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
