Replacing the old family cottage, this new build was fashioned to reflect the couples' changing needs. Set in the tranquility of Lake Couchiching, the low-slung architectural form with its intersecting roof pitches and expansive glazing, provided the perfect starting point to create something modern and warm with a playfulness well suited to its owners. Designed as a primary residence, as well as a get-away destination for family and friends, the restrained detailing in the form of walnut slatted partitions, wood clad ceilings and the expanses of a clean white envelope, all provide a nod to the architectβs vision while allowing us to animate the spaces with eclectic combinations of colours, textures and personal artifacts, reflecting our clients' unpretentious passion for a life well lived.
