Lines and materials define spaces for fulfilling outdoor living
This understated, modern bungalow is situated on exceptional lakefront property. It has two separate living spaces, one at the edge of Lake Ontario and the other nestled in between other properties, thus privacy was a concern for one of the spaces.
The goal was to maximize the accessibility, privacy, and style of various areas. Homeowners wanted a pool area with pavilion, lounging and dining areas, a basement walkout designed with style, and a separate space was to be designed for entertaining with a lake view.
Bold architectural design delineates spaces and creates a modern, but cozy atmosphere. Multi-use spaces were created in both the Lakeside and Poolside spaces, for entertaining, dining and lounging. Unique materials such as Corten steel panels, IPE decking and precast slabs were chosen to emphasize style and contrast with gardens.
