Close to Nature
The owners of this lovely Muskoka cottage always dreamed of building a timber frame. Once they found the perfect property, they engaged Normerica to not only design and supply their dream cottage, but also enlisted Normerica’s Construction Management Services to oversee the entire building process.
The design brief included the ability to comfortably host their large, blended family as well as friends, but still have the house feel cozy when it’s just the couple in the cottage, which is much of the time. Normerica achieved this by making smart use of three levels of living. The basement is packed full of bedrooms – 5 in total – along with a bathroom to service them. Large windows through out the basement keep the rooms bright and inviting. The main level has a generous living room featuring a classic timber frame cathedral ceiling and soaring wood burning stone...
