Client Vision
Situated on the shores of Lake Rosseau in Muskoka, this luxury cottage was designed beautifully by a renowned architect from Toronto. But after 15 years, it needed modern updates and better alignment with the owner’s tastes and lifestyle. They wanted a brighter space with an open floor plan to accommodate family gatherings and upscale entertaining. Let’s look at how our team transformed this luxury cottage into a waterfront wonder.
Home Renovation Upgrades
The structural redesign focused on the cottage’s roof system. Additional gables and glass were incorporated to fill the space with more natural light. Portions of the roof were crafted with reclaimed timber frames for a timeless rustic appeal. The kitchen renovation made it larger, more functional, and inviting. To enhance flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, we expanded the entryway to handle high foot traffic. The steep terrain behind the cottage posed challenges for parking and accessibility. By redesigning the site plans and landscape, the property can now accommodate more vehicles. Subtle rockscaping complements this new entrance and merges the property with the natural environment.
Interior Design
Inside this luxury cottage, the layout was transformed into an open-concept floorplan. This increased light flow and created a more spacious interior. After the remodel, the kitchen became the heart of the home. Its expansion included ample counter space, luxury appliances, and finishes sourced from Colorado to reflect the owner’s unique style. Through these interior design elements, we transformed this luxury cottage into the ultimate escape from suburbia.
