In addition to a sweeping renovation on one of Canada’s most beautiful lakes, the client commissioned a small lakeside gathering space for their young family.

The home’s most convenient beach access is an internal wet area connected to a large hot tub leading down a path to the Beach Hut and dock area adjacent to the lake. As a result, the design of the overall project becomes a series of moments in increasing intimacy with the lake.
