little muskoka

Little Muskoka – the first official project from our Design in a Day Experience. Working with the existing site conditions and a client eager to embrace its possibilities, we crafted a simple yet impactful plan. With Muskoka vacations becoming increasingly costly, our clients asked us to bring the cottage life to them. Fireside lounging, natural flagstone patios, and lush gardens create the perfect little slice of Muskoka at home.

A planned second phase will add a cozy outdoor kitchen – complete with a built-in BBQ, pizza oven, and bar fridge – along with a resurfaced concrete slab in flagstone and an aluminum pergola for relaxed outdoor dining. The full cottage experience now feels right at home in this Kitchener backyard.
