Client Vision
Our clients imagined a contemporary boathouse that would transcend convention on the pristine shores of Lake Muskoka. It needed to serve multiple functions, such as entertainment, relaxation, and water sports adventures. We knew this vision called for innovative solutions to maximize functionality, aesthetics, and environmental harmony. Our mission was clear—use every inch of space to craft a resort-like paradise. Here’s how we did it.
Design-Build
This contemporary boathouse is elevated on pile-driven steel posts. This design prevents shoreline erosion by minimizing direct contact with the water’s edge. Thermally treated ash decking was chosen for its enhanced durability and resistance to weather. The rooftop terrace offers plush seating arranged around a luxurious firepit. It is the perfect venue for upscale gatherings or relaxing evenings under the stars. A topless glass railing system surrounds the terrace. This design provides panoramic views of the lake. Outdoor LED lighting lines the stairs and changes colour for added visual appeal. The decking surfaces are waterproof and non-slip to ensure safety.
Boating Features
Understanding the passions of boating enthusiasts, we integrated features that blend function with luxury. The underwater LED lighting system illuminates the boat slip. This enhances safety for returns from nighttime excursions and creates a striking visual effect. We installed glass garage doors that fully open to the lake for convenient docking and storing their boat. This boathouse is a custom-built masterpiece to deliver the ultimate lakeside experience.
Shoreline Integration
Our dedication to sustainable builds is evident in every aspect of this boathouse’s construction. Building on pile-driven posts that tie back to the shoreline minimized ecological disruption—a sustainable building practice that the residents deeply valued.
