Bronskill Cottage

Bronskill Cottage

RAW as Architects

Overlooking Oblong Lake in Haliburton, the Cottage is envisioned as a lightly treading response to its rugged surroundings. The radial form of the cottage spreads over a sloping site, pulling the rocky landscape into the interior while maximizing lakefront views. Three discrete volumes providing living, sleeping and guest areas are all connected by a continuous curving corridor. Elevated atop steel piers and connected by a bridge to the rest of the cottage, the master bedroom is conceived as a ‘lookout’ tower situated among the tree canopy. Lofty interior spaces feature exposed glulam wood framing, generous glazing toward the lake and cast concrete features throughout.Overlooking Oblong Lake in Haliburton, the Cottage is envisioned as a lightly treading response to its rugged surroundings.
