Peter A. Sellar - Architectural PhotographerSet on a narrow lot in a private ski club development in Collingwood, Ontario, Canada, this house is concieved as a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional chalet. Its form retains the convention of a gable roof, yet is reduced to an elegant two storey volume in which the top floor slides forward, engaging an adjacent ski hill on axis with the chalet. The cantilever of the upper volume embodies a kinetic energy likened to that of a leading ski or a skier propelled in a forward trajectory. The lower level counter balances this movement with a rhythmic pattern of solid and void.

MURdesignWainscoting has a reputation as a rustic material, but it can also be stylishly incorporated into more sophisticated spaces, as seen here. To add texture and height to this contemporary living room, we chose beaded HDF panels with a 4'' linear motif. Each
4' x 8' panel (2.97 m2 or 32 sq. ft.) installs easily on the ceiling or wall with a minimum of technical know-how. Both elegant and economical, these faux wainscoting panels come pre-painted in white, but can be repainted to match your space. / On associe souvent le lambris aux décors champêtres. Or, ce type de revêtement produit aussi un très bel effet dans un décor plus moderne, comme celui-ci. Afin de conférer un relief lambrissé ainsi que de la hauteur à ce salon contemporain, on a opté pour les panneaux de HDF Beaded à motif linéaire de 4 po. Offerts en format de 4 pi x 8 pi, ils s’installent facilement au mur comme au plafond avec un minimum de débrouillardise. Esthétiques et économiques à la fois, ces panneaux imitation lambris sont prépeints en blanc, mais peuvent être repeints avec la couleur s’agençant le mieux à votre ambiance. Chaque panneau couvre une surface de 2,97 m2 (32 pi2). Photo: Rémy Germain
