Description

Perched atop a rocky outcrop and nestled among the trees, this waterfront property on Lake Rosseau offers breathtaking vistas of Arthurlie Bay. Drawing inspiration from its natural surroundings, the existing seasonal cottage was reimagined with a thoughtful new addition, a comprehensive renovation, and a complete exterior update.

While the cabin has stood the test of time, enduring multiple additions and renovations, significant portions of the structure had unfortunately succumbed to rot and disrepair, necessitating demolition for safety concerns. A meticulous effort was made to preserve the existing foundations, along with the living and primary bedroom sections. This preservation not only honored the cottage's history but also provided a stable base for the transformative enhancements.

The new two-story addition was designed to harmonize with the existing structure, enhancing the overall aesthetic and functionality. The renovation aimed to revitalize the cottage, making it suitable for year-round use while maintaining its connection to the serene natural environment.

The integration of modern amenities ensures that the property remains a cherished retreat. Large windows and open spaces were incorporated to capture the incredible lake views, creating a seamless blend between indoor comfort and outdoor beauty. The exterior update complements the natural setting, using materials and colors that blend with the surrounding landscape.

This project exemplifies the balance of preservation and innovation, transforming a beloved seasonal cottage into a rejuvenated, year-round sanctuary that continues to draw inspiration from the stunning Lake Rosseau scenery.
