dossier de presse hinterhouse

hinterhouse est niché sur un flanc de colline densément boisé, avec une vue imprenable sur la vallée de mont-tremblant. conçu pour être préfabriqué, l’espace de 16 pieds de largeur peut être transporté sur les routes locales et livré sur place. le concept hôtelier de hinter vise à offrir une évasion loin du tourbillon de la vie urbaine et à permettre à ses invités de renforcer leur lien avec la nature.

entreprise/hôtelier :hinter

architecte : Ménard Dworkind Architecture & Design - www.menarddworkind.com

ingénieur en structure : Geniex

équipe :David Dworkind, Nicolas Chaudier.

emplacement :La Conception, québec, canada

superficie : 1000 pieds carrés

date :juillet 2020

matériaux :revêtement extérieur en cèdre (profil à rainures sur mesure), revêtement intérieur en pin rouge huilé par Unik Parquet, contreplaqué de sapin déroulé avec teinture à bois ébène Varathane, carreaux de mosaïque blancs keystone 1x1 de Daltile, fenêtres Reynaers, porte d’entrée Pella avec serrure intelligente August, toilette Durvait.

cet espace compact réunit deux chambres, une salle de bain et un espace de vie à aire ouverte dans 930 pieds carrés. bordé de fenêtres pleine hauteur de chaque côté, l’espace de vie s’organise autour d’un poêle à bois central qui pivote à 360°, offrant une vue apaisante sur le feu sous tous les angles. une table de ferme en érable, fabriquée avec des assemblages à enfourchement, sert aussi d’îlot de cuisine : l’une des astuces utilisées pour gagner de la place. un évier sur mesure à poser soutient une planche à découper à une hauteur confortable et comporte un compartiment accueillant un jardin d’herbes rempli de basilic, de menthe et de sauge. dans les chambres, les lits queen s’insèrent tout juste d’un mur à l’autre. des panneaux coulissants dissimulent un téléviseur au pied de chaque lit, pour regarder un film bien blotti ou profiter pleinement de la vaste vue par la fenêtre. une gorge au plafond fait le tour de l’espace pour accueillir des stores encastrés et un éclairage indirect. dans la salle de bain, la dalle de béton se prolonge jusque dans la douche, où une grande fenêtre offre une vue sur la forêt. l’accent mis sur la transparence dans chaque pièce fait entrer le paysage lointain dans l’espace.

l’enveloppe et l’ossature de l’espace ont été construites presque entièrement en bois d’essences locales provenant de forêts gérées durablement. l’extérieur est revêtu de planches de cèdre blanc de 2-1/2 po usinées sur mesure, un choix qui demande peu d’entretien et permettra à hinterhouse de vieillir avec grâce tout en se fondant dans la forêt environnante. l’intérieur est habillé de planches de pin rouge traitées à l’huile blanche. le bloc de services central est recouvert de contreplaqué de sapin de douglas teinté ébène. des volets coulissants permettent de moduler la lumière et l’intimité à hinterhouse. ils ont été conçus pour reprendre le motif du revêtement : les espaces entre leurs lattes s’alignent sur les rainures du parement en cèdre. l’espace peut se transformer et se fermer complètement pour se protéger des intempéries, ou s’ouvrir en faisant coulisser les volets pour laisser entrer la lumière et la vue.

un escalier sinueux taillé dans le flanc de la colline descend vers un sauna conçu comme une réplique de l’espace principal. pour compléter le cycle chaud, froid, détente de l’expérience du spa scandinave, le sauna est équipé d’une douche froide extérieure.
