This 1990′s lakefront house was purchased in original condition by our clients with the vision of creating a home where their two daughters could grow, as well as a central gathering place for friends and family. With a preference for spending time on the water in Ontario’s Muskoka region as well as Hawaii, we found inspiration in their vacation destinations as well as the home’s picturesque location on a lake. We were tasked with creating a design that was both sophisticated and elegant which matched the grandeur of the home, but also comfortable and cozy to suit their personalities. We removed walls, reworked the entire main floor and by using a variety of natural materials and subtle nautical references throughout the home, we were able to create a space which is both warm and inviting, yet stylish and refined. Anyone would be pleased to spend time, dock side.
