Other Projects by Huma Design + Architecture
Mont-Orford
Humà Design + Architecture led the expansion and complete renovation of the Mont-Orford ski chalet, one of Quebec's most iconic ski resorts. The project transforms an aging building into a contemporary, welcoming outdoor facility, while preserving the soul of a gathering place it has always embodied.
The concept is built around a dual ambition: delivering an improved user experience through clear, functional organization, and creating an evocative interior that engages with the surrounding mountain landscape. The material palette, natural oak wood, textured tile, and dark metal, weaves a cohesive language between the ruggedness of mountain facilities and the comfort expected of a contemporary chalet.
The dining area forms the vibrant heart of the project. Large glazed openings frame views of the snow-covered slopes, allowing skiers to extend their mountain experience indoors. A suspended central stove creates a symbolic hearth around which varied seating zones are arranged, leather banquettes, lounge chairs, and light wood communal tables. The bar weaves in historical references through framed archival photographs and a vintage chalet bell preserved as an artifact.
The main challenge was reconciling the constraints of a high-traffic public building with the demands of a warm, considered atmosphere, while completely rethinking the locker room to circulation to dining sequence to streamline the flow of thousands of daily users, all while the resort remained fully operational throughout construction.
