This Canadian Cabin Is Equal Parts Cozy and Scandinavian Chic

When you picture a little cabin in the woods…it probably doesn’t look quite like this. For Montrealers Emilie and Antoine, architect Ravi Handa has crafted a contemporary take on the Québecois cabin that embraces oh-so Canadian forest views and Scandinavian minimalism in equal measure. 

The white-cedar-clad, 1,500-square-foot chalet is just a few hours from the city, but on weekends or holidays, the couple (she’s in marketing; he’s in finance) and their little one step through the aspen trees into the bright, lofted living space and feel transported to another place.
