Les Arches小屋丨美国丨Florent Moser

位于美丽的Charlevoix地区La Malbaie，TERACEA的独家庄园内，Les Arches如同一件建筑杰作，完美结合了创新、传统与对环境的尊重。由来自瑞士-魁北克的前瞻性开发者Florent Moser设计，这座房屋不仅仅是一个简单的木屋，而是沉浸在一个融合了真实性、创新与自然和谐的宇宙中。

Les Arches is nestled on TERACEA’s exclusive estate in La Malbaie, within the picturesque Charlevoix region, rising like an architectural masterpiece that blends innovation, tradition, and respect for the environment. Designed by Florent Moser, a visionary developer of Swiss-Quebec origin, this house is much more than a simple chalet—it’s an immersion in a universe where authenticity, innovation, and harmony with nature meet.

以自然为本的建筑设计

Architecture designed with nature in mind

Les Arches因其五个标志性的石拱门而得名，灵感来自欧洲历史悠久的修道院建筑和桥梁。这些拱门构成了房屋的灵魂，散发出永恒的宏伟气息，同时奠定了设计的基础，将壮丽与精致无缝结合。这座小屋的设计与周围环境完美融合。上部结构以自然风化的银色木材覆盖，仿佛一座乡村小屋，与周围景观融为一体。下部则与自然地形互动，逐渐揭示出房屋的真正规模。

Named for its five iconic stone arches, Les Arches draws inspiration from Europe’s historic monastic structures and bridges. These arches form the home’s soul, exuding timeless grandeur while grounding a design that seamlessly combines majesty and refinement. The chalet is designed to integrate seamlessly with its surroundings. The upper structure, clad in naturally aged silver wood, evokes a rustic barn that blends into the landscape. The lower section interacts with the natural terrain, gradually revealing the home’s true scale from the inside.

“我们的理念是设计一座与周围环境融为一体的房屋，同时像与大自然分享的秘密一样逐渐展现其魅力。”Florent Moser解释道。

“The idea was to design a house that blends into its surroundings, while gradually revealing itself, like a secret shared with nature,” explains Florent Moser.

小屋朝西南方向巧妙布置，享受全年日照。冬季阳光为室内提供温暖，而夏季设计——包括部分埋入土中的墙体——则提供自然的降温效果。

Strategically oriented to the southwest, the chalet benefits from year-round sunlight. The sun warms the spaces in winter, while the summer design—including partially earth-embedded walls—provides natural cooling.

沉浸式的居住体验

An immersive living experience

在内部，Les Arches结合了舒适、功能和发现感。房屋可以容纳6位成人和6位儿童，设有三个家庭套房，以保证私密性。一个七层的中央楼梯是房屋的主脊，每层楼梯都会带来一个新的房间，创造出富有互动性和功能性的流动感。巧妙布置的窗户促进自然通风，而内部使用的天然材料——木材和石材——则增添了有机的温暖感。一个特别的设计细节是花园层的客厅区域，地面采用了受历史欧洲市场启发的拱形鹅卵石地板。这些石块能够捕捉并释放热量，提供被动能效。

Inside, Les Arches combines comfort, functionality, and discovery. It accommodates up to 6 adults and 6 children, and features three family suites designed to preserve privacy. A seven-level central staircase serves as the home’s backbone, with each landing unveiling a new room, creating an engaging and functional flow. Cleverly placed windows foster efficient natural ventilation, while the interior’s exclusive use of natural materials—wood and stone—enhances the organic warmth. One standout detail is the garden-floor living area, featuring an arched cobblestone floor inspired by historic European markets. These stones capture and release heat, offering passive energy efficiency.

扎根于山脉的房屋

A house rooted in the mountains

Les Arches的建筑体现了对环境的深刻尊重。在挖掘过程中，移除的土壤没有被丢弃，而是被重新利用，创造了房屋前的自然平台。这座缓坡的露台扩大了花园空间，提供了对圣劳伦斯河和周围山脉的壮丽景观，同时创造出类似无限泳池的视觉效果。

The construction of Les Arches reflects a deep respect for the environment. During excavation, the earth removed was not disposed of, but was rather reused to create a natural plateau in front of the house. This gently sloping terrace amplifies the garden space. It offers a breathtaking view of the St. Lawrence River and surrounding mountains, while producing a visual effect reminiscent of an infinity pool.

“这个自然平台为居民提供了与地平线的宁静连接，每一次向外的凝视都成为一种独特的体验。”Moser强调道。

“This natural plateau offers occupants a soothing connection with the horizon, transforming every glance outwards into a unique experience,” emphasizes Moser.

位于Charlevoix心脏的和平天堂

A haven of peace in the heart of Charlevoix

凭借其俯瞰河流和山脉的全景、贵重的材料以及与自然景观的完美融合，Les Arches不仅仅是一座房屋——它是对优雅简约的颂歌，是对大自然的致敬，也是生活艺术的见证，展示了与自然环境和谐共生的方式。

With its panoramic views of the river and mountains, noble materials, and exemplary integration into the landscape, Les Arches is much more than a house—it’s an ode to elegant simplicity, a tribute to nature, and a testament to the art of living in symbiosis with the environment.

“Les Arches是一个让你既能感受到大自然的包围，又能连接到永恒美学的地方，”Moser总结道。“它是一座讲述我们根源和未来与自然世界和谐共生的房屋。”

“Les Arches is where you feel both enveloped by nature and connected to a timeless aesthetic,” concludes Moser. “It’s a house that tells a story of our roots and our future in harmony with the natural world.”
