TEA LAKE REFUGE
Description
Clad in rough hewn timber accents, wood siding and natural stone this primary addition both compliments the existing cottage and pays homage to a rustic Muskoka landscape, all while standing in bold contemporary defiance. With a largely glazed façade the surrounding elements are welcomed inside both visually and physically with a knife point deck shaped to reflect the municipal setbacks from a stream that divides the property.
Envisioned as a primary retreat, the existing cottage is visually separated from a modern fully glazed bedroom. Utilizing the ensuite as a centralized link the side walls are pushed inward of the main structural mass creating separation. Complimented by a sloped matte black standing seam metal roof, this low lying mass creates both connection and separation allowing the addition to contrast in appearance and overall intent.
