Case Study: Contemporary Comfort
These homeowners had very specific vision when it came to designing their new cottage. They wanted to incorporate elements of a mountainside retreat with a modern farmhouse style. Together the homeowners and Normerica created a custom timber frame design that seamlessly blended all of the items on the project wishlist, all while working within an allowable building footprint that was smaller than what the homeowner ideally wanted in the beginning.
The results? A breathtaking four bedroom, five bathroom cottage design that features a large open concept living/dining area with a vaulted ceiling and double-hinged doors that open completely to remove any barrier between the indoors and the large deck outside. Other unique features include a full bar on the lower walkout basement level, a 3 season Muskoka room and a separate 3 car garage which includes a second floor loft-style living space.

The tech rep from Normerica quickly got our crew organized and we had the structure up in three days as planned. The entire experience has been everything I envisioned and, of course the cottage itself is stunning.

Normerica is the most professional, personal, and accommodating company I have worked with. Their attention to detail at every level was by far a “10” on any scale.

Building from a distance was a daunting process but with Normerica’s unstinting advice guidance and patience it was a privilege to have them build our cottage.

We love our home on Lake Huron and so does everyone who sees it. I have built thousands of units over 30+ years in the housing business and as an “insider”, I was very impressed with the Normerica product and process.
