This stunning Normerica timber frame cottage sits

This stunning Normerica timber frame cottage sits on 375 feet of waterfront on the shores of Lake Muskoka. Form meets function in this modification of our popular Redstone design that was expertly built by our friends @ballantyne_builds.

You will be enchanted from the moment you drive up the driveway and see the well-appointed stonework, charcoal coloured board and batten siding, cinnamon stained pine timbers paired with black-trimmed windows and standing-seam metal roof.

The interior of the cottage is just as inviting. Step through the bright red entry door and head down the hall to the entertaining room where you will be welcomed by a beautiful cathedral timber frame ceiling accented by the Redstone’s signature tension rod hammer truss. The clients decided to paint the timber rafters white and use white shiplap decking, which brightens the room up and provides a nice juxtaposition to the natural pine trusses. The open concept living room, dining room, and kitchen creates great flow in the high-traffic areas of this cottage and is one of the reasons the Redstone model has been so popular for us.

With its modern shape and welcoming covered front

With its modern shape and welcoming covered front entry, The Lakefield has lovely curb appeal. When you enter the front door, we’ve been mindful to provide a beautiful sightline through to the back of the house and the windows and views beyond. Luxurious elements abound such as sloped cathedral timber frame ceilings complimenting the large windows in the living room, dining room, and kitchen, a timber frame Muskoka room, a soaring fireplace, and a main floor primary bedroom with walk-in closet and ensuite.

With 1,412 sqft of main floor interior living space containing two bedrooms and two bathrooms, The Lakefield packs a lot of punch for its size. The timber frame screened in porch off the kitchen offers an additional 216 sqft of living space in the warmer months. An optional basement offers another 1,213 sqft of living space and includes a generous recreation room, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a laundry room.

The Lakefield 4140 is an exciting new addition to

The Lakefield 4140 is an exciting new addition to the Normerica design portfolio. We challenged ourselves to create a beautiful home designed for modern living with energy efficiency leading the design mandate. The design needed to not only result in an energy efficient building, but be easily buildable, fit on a 50ft lot, and be mindful of budget. A tall order that The Lakefield 4140 impressively achieves.

The box-like shape of the building and efficient mono slope roofline makes this design easily buildable. By prioritizing a large wall of windows across the back of the house and keeping windows minimal along the sides, we kept the window to wall ratio at an energy efficient 17% while still achieving light filled living spaces and providing expansive views. Extended 3ft overhangs off the back of the building add an energy efficient element in helping to cover to wall of windows from the sun.
