The Noyer was built in close collaboration with a client from California. This house is quite different from our previous projects on many levels, including the roof slope and the bedroom layout. This unit, just like all of our houses, is meant to perform as well in a Californian climate as in a northern climate such as Quebec. The Noyer is intended to be inhabited full-time by a couple or a single person. Here’s a more detailed presentation of this unique model.

Hello everyone Jean-Philippe from Minimaliste We are currently at the
Expo Habitat Salon in Quebec today
to present our latest model the Noyer
It is a house 10.5 by 30.5 which was
specially made for a client from California
A model that will be delivered by the
end of March It's a model that was completely custom-made
Truly a collaboration with the client from A to Z
She was greatly involved in the creation process of her model
We are really proud and really excited to show you this new model
Once again for this model went with
cedar for the exterior environment
On also opted for a steel gray accent which
gives the house a very distinctive character
Also to add to the novelty went
with a roof slope that is different
This is the first time this type of roof slope is being used
It really gives a different dynamic to the house
What's interesting about this house as well is that our client is a corporate photographer
so she is often on the road
She is going to use it to rent out her house on Airbnb
That's also why we see this little gadget here
It's a camera
Here we have the codes for the front door
which will ensure that it can generate a new code
For each Airbnb user instead of having to hide the key
It was a very special consideration the customer wanted
Especially for her house for the use she was going to make of it
Without further delay we will now go inside
Welcome to the inside of the walnut The first thing you see at the entrance is the entrance
hooks You can hang your coats
Inside as well on the floor a carpet would be
placed We can put our boots on when entering
You can directly access the main controls of the
house namely the lights lighting and ceiling fan
en also with thermal break
The access is easy
You can enter the house and then add that
When you enter the house
One of the first times we go there is the path leading to the salon
So this path as such
It is a removable step that
gives access to full-size drawers
So here we can see that the storage space was not neglected
It was really something that the customer considered essential in her requests
Because she has a lot of photo equipment ski gear and outdoor equipment
So there are two drawers of this size
They go all the way to the back of the living room which is raised for this purpose
There is also storage space in the movable walkway to put shoes
Then the step is equipped with small hooks that help stabilize it
To prevent it from tipping over when walking on it to access the living area
So in terms of the living area there is a space that is quite
spacious and then creates a separation from the rest of the house
So you really feel like you're in a separate space from the house
Then the height is really comfortable
the sense that someone who is even six feet six inches tall can stand
upright in the living room without any problem even if the living room is elevated
So here we have the heat pump
Also on each side there is floor storage on both sides
In addition to the two drawers that were previously installed
Here what we also see looks like two small coffee tables
In fact what's underneath are reversible
covers that then become seats with a cushion
So it discreetly slides under this tray
Then when the customer receives guests
What she does she can take the lid and turn
it over It fits directly into the cabinet
Then it provides an additional seat either for
dinner or for receiving guests in the living room
At the Salon Expo Habitat 2019 we
had the opportunity to collaborate with the company Most from Quebec
They took care of all the decoration of the house
So this is really what gives the house a bit of an edge for the living room
So it's definitely something that is really appreciated and it'
s something that really enhances
the house For the kitchen space
It's a space that's a little more compact
than what we put in most of our homes
However it's really an effective design
Also as can be seen
the customer used really high-quality materials
On a counter that is cluttered with the shelves exactly cluttered
Like a bit of what you see in the living room on the table
As for the cabinet drawers
On a profiled shaker with copper-style doors
Then the navy blue really adds a warm touch to the house
Then it's really something that harmonizes well with the wooden
type of the house itself Therefore we are
really satisfied with the final result
What is found in the kitchen the customer
instead of having a conventional oven ends
up having a small bread oven
So she didn't necessarily need a conventional oven
On the other hand we have a propane cooking surface
Then where a oven would normally be installed
she decided to install a dish rack dishwasher
It is really something that is
particular It is the first time that we are bringing into our homes
certainly not the last by the way
So there's a lot of storage space in the kitchen Even
though the space is quite limited we've
included some built-in cabinets
Place either coasters or cutting boards
So everything is here as is
It really has everything you need for a functional
kitchen without having much unnecessary space
We have an oven here to
complete the kitchen space Quite cold as an
oven though I would say it's cool in the oven
To complete the kitchen area a standard
-sized refrigerator was integrated
So yes it's something that's smaller than usual
However in terms of amenities
We are trying to keep it that way to make it as convenient as possible for our customers
What we find here in terms of kitchen space
Also a dining room
So there is a bench here that is really private for this purpose
We have a cushion that was custom made
Obviously it's a bench that has a lot of storage
So when the customer is going to rent it
It will be equipped with an IKEA folding
table that can seat between 2 and 6 people
So the space here will be furnished with the IKEA
table that can be stored in the corner over there
When she no longer needs to use it as such
What you find here in the corner
is the work space for the client
Therefore a lift table that is really interesting in terms of ergonomics
It can work either sitting or standing
It is also the space you see
here for the house's electrical
panel Therefore it is discreet It is installed in the corner
So the access is easy
Then it's a place that's a little more hidden
So you don't really see the electrical panel
when you enter the house
So there is a sliding door here to access the bathroom
This is one of the bathrooms we made that is the most compact
On the other hand you will see inside
There was really no compromise in terms of comfort in the
shower etc In terms of the
facilities found in the bathroom
On a 2-in-1 washer-dryer with storage
above for various
items including towels
Here there is a hatch that provides
access to the instant water heater
which runs on propane for this model along with the various filtration systems
So it's available in other
videos if you have questions about
this kind of system Here we have a separate compost toilet
It is one of the two composting toilet models
offered by Minimaliste There
is still a window above
It allows a bit of natural
light to enter the bathroom
In the place where the propane instant water heater
is located that's also where the box was installed
for 12-volt connections
In fact that house does not run on solar panels
but it has the capacity to be adjusted
To solar panels in the future as such
Therefore it is a necessity
All new homes in California
since 2018 have solar capacity
Therefore this was something the customer wanted as well
So they integrated it right into his
house A standard-sized vanity
with a lot of storage
Despite there being pipes inside
So we managed to make sure
to maximize the space in the vanity
Despite the presence of plumbing If you
go a bit further to the left in the bathroom
you will find the 32 by 48 shower
With luxury-style wall panels which
are really something which has
become standard in our homes Then
you can see that the quality is there
Then the rendering is really quite amazing
Then obviously as in all our models
there is a bathroom fan
It is included to remove moisture Then
the ceiling is treated
with exterior paint
en five layers of varnish
Regarding ergonomics
for this model they went ahead and added
With a staircase instead of a ladder
Then it is a storage staircase
as seen in our previous models
However what is different is that went
with something much more streamlined
so there is no handle
They are pocket drawers
if you will This allows for
a really clean look and
still having access to things
All the storage spaces
inside the staircase So
really from A to Z there
are a lot of storage spaces
Then obviously there is
a retractable step which
also contains storage that can be moved aside
To free up space when there
are people inside Therefore
obviously from a safety
perspective when you lower the step
The step becomes stuck so there is no risk
that the step will come loose
when people use the stairs
So we'll go to
the loft to show
you how the room is arranged
There's a new feature in this model
It's a first for us
Regarding the loft
to offer more comfort since people
They don't necessarily have to
change in the loft and then access
their various storage areas but
by crouching what we see here is
A platform space to stand
and change comfortably with a
wardrobe that is accessible
when standing So it's really
First It's something that will
definitely be reproduced in
different models We have many
cabinets and then a closet space
which as I just mentioned is
at a height that allows you to
stand up and change without being
confined to the mezzanine space
Therefore it is clear that the
staircase is quite comfortable
Then it allows easy access to the loft without having
To lean down without having to climb a ladder
So it's really a great compromise
between a ground-floor room
and a room on the mezzanine accessible by ladder
So it's the best of both worlds
For our client Then that's what she wanted
So that's what we did for her
With a different angle
It really
gives headroom
at the top When you are
Lying on the bed there is really a lot of headroom
So you don't feel cramped
the mezzanine area Then it offers a beautiful
view of the rest of
the house at the end of the bed
It is a window that is
considered an egress window which means it is a window
that can be used in an emergency
So she opens at 90 degrees completely
