About us

Built around Muskoka sites, not magazine shoots

Our story

The best Muskoka buildings aren't designed from a catalogue — they're drawn out of their sites.

Corbin Patten Designs was founded in 2014 with a single conviction: shoreline, slope, and the way a family moves through a property are the foundations of design, not afterthoughts to it.

Meet the principal

Corbin Patten

Principal — B.Sci.Arch, M.Arch

Corbin grew up in the Village of Rosseau at the top of Lake Rosseau, with parents in construction and interiors.

He founded Corbin Patten Designs in April 2014 and leads every project as principal — from the first site walk to the final construction review.

His LESS approach — Light, Experience, Structure, Sustainability — shapes every CPD project.

Services
