In the Toronto garden suburb of Don Mills, 1960's ranch bungalows and their surrounding landscaping are being levelled to be replaced by substantial, clumsy, historically referential monster houses.
This house and restaurant renovation was designed for the owner of a fine restaurant in the southern Ontario town of Stratford. The owner is also the co-founder of the Stratford Chef’s School.
Like Le Corbusier’s rustic cabin in southern France or the Adirondack camps of upstate New York, The Muskoka Boathouse is a “sophisticated hut” in the wilderness.
The scope of the project includes the master planning and design of a three-acre public park including a new skating canal (50 feet wide by 300 feet long), an outdoor swimming pool (25 feet wide by 75 feet long) and related change facilities, and a children=s water play area.
The northern Ontario landscape is filled with lakes, remote islands, and peninsulas heavily laden with pine trees and strewn with large rocks. It is on one of these peninsulas that Moorelands Camp is located.
