This expansive Muskoka property provided the perfect backdrop to our grandest cottage master plan design to date. Great care was taken in selecting materials that harmonized with the surrounding granite outcrops and native flora to ensure that the overall aesthetic was calming and serene. By contrast to the natural muted colours, a fresh crisp fabric pallet was chosen in white for furniture, drapery and cabinetry/counter tops to bring a chic flare to the various spaces.

From a full remodel of the boathouse exterior to a complete refresh of surrounding landscapes, this project brought this grand retreat of a cottage back to life with an updated contemporary vibe. By adding unique elements and unconventional choices for accents/plantings/furniture etc. this property becomes a “One of a Kind” jewel of the North. Every small detail was overseen by ETD including hand selection of rare hardy annual palms for the boathouse dock planters, a custom curved granite bench by the fire pit area, Corten pine cone sculptures and a custom Corten entry gate with laser cut designs to welcome your arrival to this incredible retreat!
