Tranquil Nature-Centric Cabin Designs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

MAFCOhouse Designs the Cozy Nortehaus Retreat in Canada

— February 6, 2023 — Art & Design
MAFCOhouse designs the Nortehaus retreat which is located in Canada's Kawartha Lakes region as the perfect getaway from the bustling city. The calm design invites guests to experience a tranquil home that is surrounded by nature. It fuses elements of sustainability and minimalism through its construction and design at the exterior and interior.

The inspiration behind the home's design stems from Japanese and Nordic themes. It even highlights the hygge concept, which is a feeling of peace, wellness, and coziness. The Nortehaus is built specifically for a small family of three members that were looking for a quiet getaway from Toronto. The owners state “Being a hideaway is an integral part of the nortehaus concept and so the exact location will be shared with you once you complete your booking.”
