This Breathtaking Modern Cottage Is Hidden Deep in a Quebec Forest
Have you ever noticed that in professional architecture photos, the only people that ever seem to appear are almost always blurry? You know: like this, or this, or this. It’s a weird phenomenon, one that I’ve never truly understood. And then I saw these photos of a contemporary cottage set deep in the forest outside of Eastern Township, Quebec, and I started to get it.
Because, I mean, look at this place, right? It’s gorgeous. The clean, stark lines? That slatted black exterior? [*Italian Chef Kiss*] But then, you get to the next photo, and…
…who the hell is THAT guy? Why is he just standing there? Oh, okay. I guess it’s the architect, Jean Verville. He’s probably there to inspect his creation, or what have you. Checks out.
So let’s just try to ignore that rather odd interruption and continue talking about what’s really important here: the architecture. The main level opens up to a covered terrace that sits beneath…
…DUDE! Seriously? What is your deal man? That’s just plain creepy. Here we are, trying to talk seriously about this beautiful home you’ve designed, and all you can do is…
Wow, real mature. Could you at least look at us when we’re talking to you?
That’s… um… that’s better, I guess. Look, I’m sorry you guys, I really wanted to discuss this place in more detail, but Jean over here keeps getting in the way. I really, really wish he’d just been blurred out. I’ll never question your judgment again, architecture photographers. Sigh. Here are a few more Jean-free photos of the place for you to enjoy. See you next week.
