At Gilbert + Burke, we are taking our commitment to quality home design and construction to new heights. We are thrilled to share the blueprint for an exciting new addition to our team. Gilbert + Burke welcomes an exclusive partnership with one of the biggest names in upscale cottage country design, pre-eminent Muskokan designer Peter Groza (formerly of Evergreen Homes). He brings with him thirty years of experience and an esteemed reputation among his clientele, designing elite lifestyle spaces with an eye for quality construction and materials, and the natural environment.

Peter’s design and construction services have been highly sought after in the Muskokas for many years. Recently, he has decided that his focus should be solely on exceptional home and cottage design, which lead him to explore a partnership with a construction company that was aligned with his vision for environmentally-conscious, well-crafted custom home design and build.

We whole-heartedly share this philosophy at Gilbert + Burke. We believe that Peter’s work and track record designing simply beautiful spaces is a perfect blend of artistry with natural materials and sound design foundations. His mastery of elegant interior designs featuring natural and eco-friendly products is perhaps, unparalleled; he chooses to use reclaimed wood wherever possible, low VOC products, and designs an electrical plan that minimizes radioactive interference. It is this attention to detail and eco-conscious design that Gilbert + Burke clients have become accustomed to, so we are confident that this merger will serve to perfectly compliment our suite of services.

This partnership comes after many years of respect for Peter’s accomplishments, and a reciprocated appreciation for the methodologies and the goals of our company. We don’t take short cuts; we are dedicated to building well. We have always delivered quality construction, and focus on regular and transparent communication with our clients.

With this announcement, Peter will begin designing signature projects with Gilbert + Burke, focusing on a limited number of exclusive builds or remodels per year.
