Chalet des Huarts: Atelier MAa architecture + Renovates 105 m² Lakeside Retreat in Mansonville

Atelier MAa architecture + has completed Chalet des Huarts, a renovation project in Mansonville, Canada, overlooking Lake Memphremagog. The project, led by principal architect Melanie Argento, transforms a modest seasonal shelter into a contemporary residence while preserving its intimate scale. Instead of demolishing or expanding, the intervention focuses on the potential of the existing 105 m² footprint. The architectural area is 104 m², and the project year is 2025. Photographs are by Phil Bernard. The project explores architecture's capacity to endure and adapt, revealing what an inherited structure can still accommodate and offer. The renovation falls under the categories of Houses and Renovation. The original article was curated by Susanna Moreira and published on ArchDaily.cl, with an English version available.
