ARCHITECTURE DESIGN Le Massif de Charlevoix Baie Saint Paul Qubec Canada

At the heart of Baie-Saint-Paul, Qubec onland where once stood the largest woodenfarm in Canada, a modern getaway has takenroot. Hotel La Ferme is the most contemporaryof country hotels. Its namesake was an iconicwooden farm, which was ravaged byre in 2005.

LEMAYMICHAUDs Qubec City ofce craf-ted the look and feel of the hotel. Their man-

date was to represent the history and cultureof the area, to use local items, and to show-case the talents of local artisans.

In keeping with its history, La Ferme featuresbarn-inspired wood throughout the build(pillars and exposed wood beams). It was im-portant to keep much of the art and materialsused locally sourced, highlighting the storyof the Charlevoix people. Cabinets, curtains,bedding and carpets were all local nds, pro-moting Qubec rms and artists.

Items one would usually see in country set-tings milk crates, barn wood, wool arefound throughout the space. Furniture andlighting were handpicked and playful itemswere often used. Pillows were hand-woven,depicting the bright star of Charlevoix,a local symbol.

Hotel La Ferme welcomes visitors from allover the world with the unique charm and

allure of the Charlevoix region, where thesea, mountains, and culture create a warm,tranquil holiday destination.

The main pavilion, the farm, named in me-mory of the Fafard farm, is in the foregroundof this project. It offers a dynamic facadeand reects the activities that take placeinside. This three-story pavilion, U-shaped,is reminiscent of the layout and scale of theoriginal building. The courtyard, which facessouth, is facing the river and is the heart ofthe project.

DESIGN BRIEF

HOTEL LA FERME

As the core to the grounds, all shared spacestouch on its borders: The Bercail (the bar-lounge), Les Labours (the ne-dining restau-rant), the multipurpose room, the conferencerooms, the coffee corner, and the train sta-tion. The interior spaces are meant to blendinto the exterior to create a sense of conti-nuity between the inside and outside.

Each pavilion offers a diverse experience to

the visitor. Guests will be able to experiencea variety of ambiances as they explore thespace.

Why should we win?

Hotel La Ferme is a labour of love that is unique and enchanting.Architects came up with no less than seven plans before a dedicateddesign team created a hotel experience worthy of the areas story.

LEMAYMICHAUDs mandate was complex and included the fusion of variedspaces: a train station, a theatre, a spa, restaurants and various hotel pavilions.

The hotel acts as a contemporary showcase for the crafts of local artists.Its decor is 95% from Qubec, much of the work is exclusive to the project.

Hotel La Ferme goes beyond the r egular hotel experience. The nuance of

the space allows for the possibility of rediscovering it time and time again.

Hotel La Ferme is the most impressive of country hotels and is located in apeaceful haven of fresh air and shorelines, in the beautiful Charlevoix, Qubec.

The space is organized according to the frag-mentation of several buildings, making surethe landscape is highlighted by the interiorspaces.

The site houses several pavilions. Some ofthem cater exclusively to accomodation whilethe main larger building is dedicated to re-ception and guest services.

Each pavilion is of a different design, has adifferent view, and offers visitors a uniqueexperience. We hope to peak their curiosityand interest, and possibly coax them to re-turn to this place. Maybe next time theyll trya different room, or visit during a differentseason.

The Main Building, features the lobby,

restaurants and 26 rooms, nestled in

the architecture of the roof. These rooms

have large windows overlooking the entire

site. Above the train station are 12 dormi-tory-style rooms. Each dormitory consists

of 4 retractable beds, catering to groups.

Connected by a common terrace, these

rooms are a modern alternative to a youth

hostel.

The Moulin overlooks the other pavi-

lions with its four-storey tower. In it are

7 suites, all botanically themed. The view

expands from the city to the river and the

rooms offer the most space of the entirecomplex.

La Basse-Cour rooms are dened by barn

door which house the washroom. Animal

motifs are omnipresent, the coffee table

is a pig! The space uses rich colours

throughout its 12 rooms. Nine of therooms feature queen beds and additional

bunk-beds.

A linear, 2-storey building housing 49

rooms, La Berge is inspired by the shores

of the St-Lawrence River. In each room

the bed is placed on a wooden dock res-

ting on a slate oor. These docks create

intimacy from either the washroom or the

bunkbeds. La Berge is the hub of the site

as it is at the convergence point of the

main exterior circulation coming from the

main building, the train station and the

other pavillions.

Inuenced by the tower of a local convent,

Le Clos houses 39 rooms, all of which

surround a central courtyard. The square

shape of the building recalls a cloister,

with minimalist, nearly monochromme

dcor, and invites patrons to meditate,

contemplate, and rest.

The Spa du Verger offers a reception, a

small vitamin juice bar, locker rooms,

showers, and six treatment rooms, one

of which is a spa suite which houses a

sensory tub. There is also a relaxationarea designed to be a communal space

for families, couples and friends. The re-

laxation room features a view overlooking

the river. Here you can let your mind wan-

der as your eyes graze the surrounding

countryside. Hot water tanks offer an all-

season outdoor experience.
