Akb Architects presents Muskoka Retreat, a multi-generational family cottage clad in rough-sawn cedar boards and western red cedar shakes to merge with the northern Ontario terrain of windswept trees and pre-Cambrian bedrock.
Inspired by the simple and prevalent image of wood docks found along the edges of the Muskoka lakes, the Muskoka boathouse was conceived as a series of planar elements that slide past one another.Â
With Lytton Park Residence project, we explore the hip roof typology within the context of a quasi-suburban environment. The apex of the upper volume is off-set toward the west, positioning it adjacent to the larger of its neighbouring houses.
