Cantilevered forest domes
Cantilevered platforms suspend each geodesic dome in the canopy, creating self-contained cabins built for Quebec's harsh winter.
What it’s good at
Listed
Self-catered geodesic domes provide mountain lodging near Charlevoix hiking and ski trails.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The ski trails of Le Massif sit minutes away, and forest paths wind straight through the surrounding mountainside.
The rooms
South-facing windows look out over the St. Lawrence River, and radiant concrete floors warm the canvas interior.
The hot tubs
A private hot tub sits on each dome's terrace, looking out through the trees toward the river.
How it began
Three local friends adapted Alpine geodesic domes for Quebec, partnering with Bourgeois / Lechasseur Architectes in 2018.
