COZY ON THE RIVER HOUSE

The new Owners of this property on the Oxtongue River in the Township of Algonquin Highlands contacted us with the intention to renovate the existing house they had bought.

Our first step in design was to perform a building structure assessment.  Based on our assessment findings, we recommended against renovation of the existing house.

The Owners agreed with our recommendation and we started design drawings for a new wood frame house super-structure to be supported on the existing foundation.  Preserving & re-using the existing foundation would eliminate un-necessary construction cost.

The design priorities for this project centred around providing a comfortable interior with sufficient space for the Owners (from London, England) to visit with Canadian family members during Summer vacations.

Wood siding and a cedar deck are traditional elements of the vernacular residential architecture of Muskoka, Ontario. Large west-facing windows overlook the Oxtongue River from the common living space of this Muskoka house design. An image shows the existing home on the property prior to demolition and replacement with the new house design. Late afternoon sun shines on the sun deck on the riverside elevation of this house design. An entry deck turns through ninety degrees to connect the driveway to the entry door at the side of the house plan. A sliding patio door connects the house linving space to a large deck overlooking the Oxtongue River. A steel roof with large overhangs is designed to protect the house from winter weather and remain durable for the lifetime of the house.

The floor plan for this house includes 5 Bedrooms (3 on the First floor, and 2 in the Walkout Basement), 2 Bathrooms, an open-concept Kitchen/ Living/ Dining Room, Entry Hall, Recreation Room and Laundry Room.  A woodstove in the Living Room offers a comforting radiant heat-source.
