Custom Home Constructing a Lakeside Refuge on the Georgian Bay

Site Selection

This custom home was designed to fit the natural features of the site. The design follows the curves of the bedrock to avoid blasting and keep the land intact. It’s positioned to offer amazing views of the Georgian Bay and provide easy access to the shoreline. The site’s sloped and rocky terrain creates natural privacy. Let’s look closer at what makes this custom home truly unique.

Design + Build

The home features nature-inspired design, modern comforts, and future flexibility. Large picture windows frame breathtaking views of the Georgian Bay. Awning windows above ensure fresh air flows throughout the home for an “airy” atmosphere. Wide hallways and doorways make navigating the home easy for people of all ages and mobility levels. Small staircases were designed with adaptability for future home additions. Every detail of this custom home blends function, accessibility, and the beauty of lakeside living.

Interior Design

The interior design mixes rustic charm with a modern look. Natural wood finishes reflect the surrounding landscape and add warmth to the space. The home includes private guest quarters for visitors and large common areas for family gatherings. In fact, this home can support up to 25 people. In-floor radiant heating provides consistent warmth, with a concrete slab underneath for strength and energy efficiency.

Outdoor Living Space

The land was graded to manage a 15-foot drop from the driveway to the lakeshore. This enabled the creation of a low-level deck without railings for clear views of the Georgian Bay. The deck also blends into the landscape and offers a peaceful spot for relaxation. Easy access to the water ensures the residents can enjoy daily kayaking, swimming, and fishing. These outdoor features create the perfect refuge for enjoying everything Cottage Country offers.
