The arbor is built with Glu-lamed Cedar which dimensions at 3 1/8" X 12". Cedar joists are used above the anodized aluminum rungs spaced approximately 8.5" on center. The rung paint chosen was dark bronze to mimic the window cladding color. The cedar framework is stained with a transparent stain.

This lovely, contemporary lakeside home underwent a major renovation that also involved a two-story addition. Exterior design includes cedar siding, natural stone cladding, wrought iron entry door, balcony, spiral staircase down to an outdoor kitchen area with fireplace, seating, and hot tub. The windows' design was intentionally strategic with smaller, higher windows for privacy on the right and left sides of the house and a multiplicity of expansive windows facing the lake.

The compact subdued cabin nestled under a lush second-growth forest overlooking Lake Rosegir. Built over an existing foundation, the new building is just over 800 square feet. Early design discussions focused on creating a compact, structure that was simple, unimposing, and efficient. Hidden in the foliage clad in dark stained cedar, the house welcomes light inside even on the grayest days. A deck sheltered under 100 yr old cedars is a perfect place to watch the water.

A sleek and contemporary exterior certainly makes this home stand out amongst the rest! This exterior incorporates a wide range of materials giving this home texture and depth. A soft contrast is highlighted by the use of dark and light stucco and black and gray corrugated metal siding. To break up the industrial look of metal, cedar wood siding was strategically placed to bring richness and warmth that is pleasing to the eye.

The outdoor kitchen is clad in Wiarton ledgerock and features a wet bar and gourmet Wolf grill with a full complement of luxury stainless steel accessories. Lighting for kitchen tasks has been strategically placed to illuminate each of the key work areas.
