Architecture At one with the land

Intentionally unobtrusive and crafted from logs, stone, clay, and other natural materials, the hotel blends seamlessly into the forested landscape.

Centuries-old Canadian cedar logs are the soul of the hotel’s redesign. Rather than conceal or modernize them, the design embraces the logs as living elements that echo the environment and reflect the materials, muted tones, and tactile finishes used throughout, creating a dialogue between old and new, permanence and impermanence. Large windows invite the outside in, framing the stillness of the lake and the rhythm of wind through the pines.

Interior design Kirson Design

Defined by natural textures, earthy tones, and hand-finished details, the interiors are perfectly complemented by custom furniture in organic forms.

Burnished woods, smooth clay-toned plaster, and textured stone surfaces are guided by the principles of wabi-sabi—embracing imperfection, simplicity, and the quiet beauty of the natural world. Spaces are intentionally textured and unpolished, with natural materials used throughout to form an inviting calm presence. Rather than impress, the design aims to soothe—creating an atmosphere of subtle elegance where everything feels lived-in, grounded, and in harmony with nature.
