The Black Exterior Of This Home In The Forest Covers A White Minimalist Interior

This modern home has a black wood exterior, with black window frames providing consistency to the design.

Matière Première Architecture has completed a new home in Stanstead, Quebec, Canada, that has a striking black exterior surrounded by the forest.

The house’s design emphasizes its connection with a nearby stream by incorporating strategic window placements and a layout that seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor living spaces.

A variety of outdoor spaces expands the options for places the homeowners can enjoy, with a front porch by the garage, a deck at the rear of the house, and a firepit area in the garden.

The white interior, which creates a bright and inviting space, complements the white kitchen cabinets and island, and at the same time, allows the nature views outside to be the focus.
