Project Overview
This modern contemporary cottage on Straggle Lake was thoughtfully designed to maximize natural light, connection to the outdoors, and functional living within a compact footprint. The design balances bold architectural elements with warm, natural finishes to create a retreat that feels both refined and inviting.
The Approach
The design approach focused on clean lines, purposeful spaces, and strong visual contrast. Modern rooflines allowed for expansive clerestory windows, flooding the interior with natural light while maintaining privacy. Material selections were carefully chosen to complement the surrounding landscape while reinforcing a cohesive, contemporary aesthetic inside and out.
The Outcome
The finished cottage delivers a striking yet livable space that feels larger than its square footage. Light-filled interiors, thoughtful room layouts, and a seamless blend of modern and natural elements result in a cottage that is both visually impactful and highly functional for everyday use.
The Cedar Winds Detail
Cedar Winds brought the design to life through meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship. From drywall window returns and colour-matched casing and baseboards to custom cabinetry with integrated waterfall countertops, every finish was carefully executed to enhance the overall design and elevate the final build.
