Crafting a Luxurious Oasis on Skeleton Lake in
Muskoka

Site Selection

After scouting the client’s waterfront property on Skeleton Lake, we found the ideal location to build this Muskoka oasis. We set the foundation on top of a slope to ensure the completed cottage would deliver stunning views of the vast landscapes. The property was expansive, so we also mapped out walking trails and a private lake to create a one-of-a-kind refuge. Learn more about this luxury cottage’sdefining elements and how they could be applied to your project.

Design + Build

We designed this structure around the land’s contours, including a walkout basement and space for a hot tub. During the building process, we used muskoka granite and reclaimed wood to craft a space inspired by nature. A glass railing preserves clear lake views and adds a contemporary flair. Energy-efficient systems, such as hydronic radiant heating, boost comfort and sustainability. Our commitment to superior quality and exacting detail guided the creation of this luxury cottage.

Interior Design

The interior design embraces natural elegance and unique materials. Reclaimed elm floors and barn board from Colorado provide rustic character. Large patio doors in the master suite bring ample light and create a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Open-concept living areas and custom lighting fashion an inviting atmosphere for gatherings. Contaminant-free barn board and Ontario clear pine showcase our commitment to sustainable building practices. Each room is crafted for comfort, timeless style, and a deep connection to nature.
