Ligne Magazine Features Le Spa Manoir Hovey
Le Spa Manoir Hovey was featured in Ligne Magazine. The feature presents the project as a renovation and expansion of the historic Manoir Hovey estate in North Hatley, Quebec, emphasizing the integration of contemporary wellness architecture within a protected lakeside heritage setting.
The article describes how the new spa building is embedded into the steep hillside overlooking Lake Massawippi while maintaining a visual and architectural continuity with the original residence. Particular attention is given to the project’s colonnades, vaulted porticos, and terraced circulation sequence, which guide visitors gradually from the upper arrival level down toward pools, thermal facilities, and lakefront gardens.
The feature also highlights the relationship between the spa interiors and the surrounding landscape. Materials and spatial atmospheres draw from the natural environment of the Eastern Townships, with stone finishes, timber elements, filtered daylight, and framed views of the lake used to create a calm and immersive wellness experience.
