retired couple chose the Georgian Bay area of Ontario for their year round cottage. The project was built in two stages, starting with the segmented crescent shaped form seen to the left of the second Aerial photo, followed by a master bedroom suite and pool addition, seen to the right. The pool deck extends over top of a perimeter foundation left from a previous cottage, while the pool itself is set into what was the basement

he massing of the cottage emphasizes the horizontal line, rising gently from the ground, spreading out to occupy the site. The form of the cottage and virtually all the glass shield the views to and from the neighbouring cottages, providing maximum exposure of the lake and pool areas.

nterior spaces are open and filled with light. A 30° angular geometry used extensively in the plan combined with a number of vaulted ceilings and circular accents produce a gentle flowing dance of sculptured form and space.

he master bedroom suite addition comprises bedroom, solarium, bathroom, and workshop/ studio spaces. The master bedroom connects to the solarium with a series of louver doors, and looks through this space directly onto the pool deck area. The octagonal tent like ceiling in the bedroom features a painted faux-finish "skylight" and midsummer night sky effect.
