Lakeside Escape Timber Frame Project 3,953 sq ft 2 Floors 4 Beds 4 Baths This four-season lakeside cottage beautifully marries traditional timber frame architecture with contemporary finishes, offering lots of room for this family and their guests. The traditional gabled roof, dormers, partial stone cladding, and window grilles lend the building a traditional form. However, the monochromatic grey of both the roof and the siding, as well as the black metal windows give the home a modern touch. The lot wasn’t suited for a walkout basement, so the homeowners opted for a two-storey layout, including a fabulous recreational room over the attached 3-car garage, taking the function of a traditional basement. With lots of windows, this light-filled multipurpose room is enjoyed for a myriad of activities including tv watching, pool playing, and working out. When you enter the cottage, you are greeted by an amazing view through the glass staircase to the great room and the lake views beyond. The showstopping great room gets flooded with light through the windows of the cathedral timber frame ceiling. The medium-toned stained timbers and tongue and groove ceiling give the room a natural cottagey feel, while the crisp white walls and black windows keep the look fresh and modern. A soaring stone fireplace is the focal point of the room and can be enjoyed through to the kitchen and dining area. Read more and watch the walkthrough video.
