Description

Daymark moves to create a timeless architectural concept and comprehensive plan, reimagining an entire property on Lake Muskoka. Including a 2-storey Cottage with walk-out basement, 2-storey boathouse and single storey garage with sports court.

The design style of Daymark continues to evolve in an effort to create distinctive and lasting architecture in our Canadian landscape. This project takes inspiration from classic Mid Century Modern architecture and combines it with Daymark’s architectural philosophy.

In-line with the existing site’s immersive experience and forested surround, our intent is to preserve the mature treeline and landscape, working the proposed cottage into the natural site. The cottage steps up from the water’s edge to a single storey approach at entry and blending into the land at second storey.

Clad in a dark natural wood siding and tumbled limestone the modern form and horizontal lines create a striking presence while tying materially back into a rocky base and treed backdrop. Large sections of glazing disconnect the interior from the exterior creating an immersive experience and connection to nature.
