Site Selection
This mountain contemporary cottage is located on a rocky peninsula along a private lake in Muskoka, Ontario. The secluded location offers spectacular views of pristine water and a lush green shoreline. Our designers crafted plans that worked with the natural topography. Part of the structure was integrated directly into a rock formation that set the stage for waterfront access. Our expertise in building in remote locations and strategic site selection ensured the final result would be a secluded paradise surrounded by stunning vistas. Let’s dive into the most noteworthy details of this one-of-a-kind luxury cottage.
Design + Build
The design and construction of this cottage emphasized natural integration and structural efficiency. We used insulated concrete forms (ICF) for the foundation to conserve energy and improve structural stability. Local building materials, such as Ontario clear pine cladding and Douglas Fir trim, were used to echo the natural setting. Radiant heating was installed beneath the floors to ensure warmth and energy efficiency during colder months.
Interior Design
Neutral tones, natural stone, and rich wood finishes dominate this cottage’s interior design. Pine plank stairs and custom-made counters crafted from Ontario woods add personalized touches. The bathrooms feature natural limestone tiles to add a resort-level quality. Massive windows in the dining area and living spaces frame spectacular views. Curated lighting and textured wood-panelled ceilings enhance the aesthetic. Modern amenities ensure comfort without compromising the rustic elegance of this cottage’s interior design.
