Related: About this forumBourgeois Lechasseur completes pair of prefabricated glamping cabins in Quebec
https://www.dezeen.com/2021/10/26/bourgeois-lechasseur-forest-glamp-cabins-quebec-architecture/Quebec architecture firm Bourgeois Lechasseur has included full-height mirrored walls in these secluded cabins to reflect the surrounding forest.
The pair of rentable Forest Glamp cabins were completed as part of hospitality concept Réflexion, and are located in Petite-Rivière-Saint-François a popular ski destination roughly an hour outside Quebec City.
The project follows Bourgeois Lechasseur's previous work on glamping or short-term rental projects in the region, and the studio sees this a continuation of the same type of work.
"The challenge for the architects was to engage guests in an intimate relationship with nature, rather than dazzle them with the overwhelming views nearby," said Bourgeois Lechasseur. "Key to the design was a focus on creating accommodations that would almost disappear among the trees."

Canada isn't in the snow zone.
Unless there is some element in the design that we can't see that addresses that issue.

should be able to get your fill just by stepping out the door and picking them up off the ground after they commit suicide by drilling their little heads into that mirrored wall.
