The revered year-round retreat for a multi-generational family, set amongst a rocky enclave of seasonal, waterfront homes, was designed by Robert Kastelic, Kelly Buffey, and Nazia Aftab of Mazenga Building Group Ltd, North Port Carling, Ontario, as a one-storey, wood-clad, residence and boathouse, along the shores of Lake Joseph.

The Metrick Cottage and Boathouse Illuminates Warmth and Elegance

Inspired by its surrounding natural environment’s rugged beauty, the residence illuminates warmth, elegance, sophistication and eco-sustainability. Featuring an open-concept main cottage divided by three distinct yet connected communal spaces, and private bedroom suites.

With each bedroom sandwiched between parallel stone ridges, the designers have created a visual boundary intended to extend the perception of space and provide optimal privacy, without compromising view.

Offering a serene oasis for it inhabitants, the Metrick Cottage and Boathouse, utilizes a multitude of wood textures, including semi-charred fir cladding and torrified-ash which wrap its interior floors, walls, and ceilings.
