Why us?

Designing your dream project is not about us; It is about you. We want to help you envision a new or improved lifestyle, maximize relaxation, and ultimately create a space that creates years of memories for you and your family. We craft exceptional experiences that align with your lifestyle, values, and vision. Whether it’s a lakefront retreat, mountain chalet, or bespoke vacation home, we take a precision-driven, client-focused approach to create spaces that are as beautiful as they are functional.

Site Specific

Every project starts with the site

Our Approach

Our philosophy is rooted in LESS: Light, Experience, Structure, and Sustainability. We create sustainable vacation homes that harmonize with nature, simplify life, and stand the test of time.

Light

We harness natural light to create bright, energy-efficient spaces, minimizing the need for artificial lighting and maximizing solar gain through passive solar design.

Experience

Our designs celebrate your unique lifestyle and property features, ensuring your home reflects your personal style and enhances your daily living.

Structure

We craft visually striking, eco-conscious structures that balance strength and expression, built to stand the test of time.

Sustainability

We prioritize energy efficiency, healthy living environments, and sustainable materials to create homes that are as kind to the planet as they are to you.

Hear from our clients

Our clients love working with us, just read what they have to say!

Corbin was fantastic to deal with. He has a great understanding of the history of Muskoka and this came through in his design work. We found him to be punctual and on budget and we received great value from his work. We recommend him highly and it also helps that he is a genuine, good person.

… Corbin’s unique blend of old-school mechanical architectural techniques and modern design vision truly set him apart. His commitment to sustainability and his unwavering focus on our concept of “bringing the outside in” resulted in a home that exceeded our wildest expectations. … link

We have done a few projects to date with Corbin and his team. The designs are easy to follow, meets all of the clients needs and they are responsive during the building process if a problem comes up. Highly recommended using this team for any upcoming design and permit work needed!

Our Process

We use 3D rendering and virtual walkthroughs to help you fully visualize your home before construction. From concept to completion, our process ensures every detail is refined, functional, and aligned with your vision, making design clear and stress-free.

00
  • Pre-Design

    This phase defines the project vision, site conditions, and feasibility, ensuring alignment with budget and zoning. Preliminary budgeting clarifies costs, while a project roadmap outlines milestones and timelines for a smooth design process.

01
  • Schematic Design

    Concepts take shape through sketches, layouts, and 3D massing models. We refine spatial organization, optimize natural elements, and align the design with your vision.

02
  • Design Development

    The design evolves into a detailed 3D model, incorporating windows, doors, cabinetry, and structure. Preliminary pricing and municipal reviews ensure feasibility and compliance.

03
  • Construction Documents

    We create technical drawings for permitting and construction, covering site plans, materials, and layouts. We also assist in bidding coordination to select the right contractor.

04
  • Construction Administration

    We oversee the build process, ensuring the design intent is met. Our team provides ongoing support, answers contractor questions, and assists with final selections.
