Project Overview

This project originally was an existing mid-1900’s single-storey cottage located in  Severn, On. The existing 950-sq.ft. footprint was enlarged by adding a 500-sq.ft.  addition to the North & East of the existing structure. While challenges arose due  to the various zoning requirements & waterway guidelines, we were able to meet  all the requirements & provide a newly transformed getaway that met all the needs of our client. The existing 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage was increased to have a total of 5-bedrooms and 1 ½-bathrooms. New interior finishes, upgrades to the existing windows, recladding w/ horizontal wood siding and cedar shake accents really brought a welcoming warmth to the old shack on the lake. A 300-sq.ft. Bunkie was also added to accommodate additional space for guests & family to enjoy family gatherings on the lake for years to come.
