Blok is a rustic retreat ideally located at the top of a natural climbing wall in the heart of Mount Le Maelstromin Lac-Beauport, offering a perfect refuge for climbers.Save this picture!With its asymmetrical shape and grey stucco materiality, this monolithic volume with angular edges evokes a climbing block. The irregularlyarranged openings resemble climbing holds, creating a faade that, like a climbing route, guides the gaze and the ascent. Inside this square plan,heated spaces coexist with sheltered outdoor areas, increasing the living spaces' surface area while providing an immersive experience in the heart of nature.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Entering through the truncated corner of the volume, one first discovers the outdoor spaces, protected from the elements and prying eyes. On theground floor, walls allow climbers to practice their sport, while a spa invites relaxation between training sessions.
