Our Services
Building Design. Interior Design. Integration.
§ 01 — What We Offer
Integrated design, from site visit to built building
We handle every step of your project — architecture, technical drawings, interior design, and contractor coordination. One studio, one point of contact, and a building documented to be built well.
§ 02 — Building Design
Designed for the site. Built to last.
Every project starts with the land — how it falls, where the water is, where the sun moves through the day. We design cottages, homes, boathouses, garages, and outbuildings as a complete picture. The architecture is rooted in the Canadian Shield, built for the climate, and documented to be built exactly as designed.
§ 03 — Interior Design
Interiors resolved from the inside out
Our interior design practice works in parallel with the architecture — not as a separate add-on. Materials, millwork, furniture, and lighting are resolved together from the earliest stages so the interior reads as a natural extension of the building. We work with Hilltop Interiors to bring clients a fully integrated design experience.
§ 04 — Project Types
What We Build
Homes
Homes designed around the way you live, the light on your property, and the landscape that surrounds it.
Cottages
Site-led cottage design from pre-design through construction documents, for Muskoka and beyond.
Boathouses
Purpose-built boathouses and marine structures that work with your shoreline, not against it.
Garages
Detached garages and storage buildings designed to complement your cottage or home, not compete with it.
Outbuildings
Bunkie cabins, workshops, and utility structures that round out the property and serve the way you use it.
§ 05 — Our Approach
The LESS Philosophy
L — Light
Every project starts with how sunlight moves through your site — morning, midday, and evening — before a single wall is placed.
E — Experience
Your property has views and moments that can only be framed, not designed from scratch. We find them first.
S — Structure
We design buildings meant to last 50 years, with materials and detailing that age well rather than requiring constant upkeep.
S — Sustainability
Lower energy loads, better insulation, and durable systems — built in from the start, not retrofitted later.
§ 06 — Why CPD
What Makes Us Different
We work as a single integrated studio — not a handoff between architect and interior designer. That means fewer coordination gaps, tighter budgets, and a building that reads as one coherent thing from site line to interior detail. Over eleven years of Muskoka projects, we have learned what works and what the region demands.
