This modern, custom built home built by Tamarack North brings a contemporary edge to Georgian Bay while still exhibiting its classic, rugged components. The clean lines paired with the many glass aspects of this home give it a very modern edge. Although a modern design, the rugged landscaping, use of natural rock and the wind-swept trees, allow this build to complement the scenery beautifully. Tamarack North prides their company of professional engineers and builders passionate about serving Muskoka, Lake of Bays and Georgian Bay with fine seasonal homes.

The Owner, a skilled metal fabricator and avid custom car owner and creator, needed more space to spread out given his profession and interests. Strouse Davis was tasked with creating this space on the site of his current home. The 2,500 sf building is clad in metal panel and clear cedar siding. The roof form is a unique semi-butterfly semi-shed roof. The roof water drains into an above ground concrete bio-retention planter. To honor his passion in life, large steel beams are exposed and intersect within the space.

A family of passionate athletes and sports aficionados embarked on a remarkable endeavor alongside our team and Studio M Merge. Their vision? To breathe new life into their outdated mid-century modern home and neglected pool, resulting in the dramatic “Sports Enthusiasts’ Hideaway.” The transformative journey focused on opening the interior spaces out toward the beautiful gardens and amenities. The renewed house features expanded open-plan living areas, a new bedroom, and a reimagined primary bath. An attached ADU added a sports bar and a flexible office space that can double as a private guest bedroom. The outdoor spaces were brought to life with the addition of expansive decks, inviting patios, a horseshoe pit, a basketball half-court, refreshing plunge pools, and a lush sports lawn. A pool house artfully frames the view from the pool to the neighboring golf course. This family of five finds themselves immersed in their expanded home and experiential outdoor hideaway. Every element has been thoughtfully designed to cater to their favorite activities, providing a peaceful haven where they can fully indulge their shared passion for sports.

This micro loft dwelling featuring light-grey render (mortar), exposed bricks and natural surface materials, occupies a 75 m2 apartment building floor within one the busiest districts of Medellin, challenged by the limitation of space and a brief requesting an open room for entertaining and the inclusion of the client´s passion for cooking in the design. Up to the challenge, we managed to accomplish all the requirements. With a natural palette of restrained and earthy elements, each material has an honesty to it and was carefully selected for each specific space within the unit. By using these materials and incorporating subtle nuances, we were able to differentiate each space.

Our Windmill Ranches residence was designed for an amazing family with a true passion for art and design.

After years of renting out the house, the owners of this 1916 Craftsman were ready to make it their forever home. Both enthusiastic cooks, an updated kitchen was at the top of the list. Updating the fireplace, as well as two bathrooms in the house were also important. The homeowners passion for honoring the age of home, while also updating it, was at the forefront of our design. The end result beautifully blends the older elements with the new.

Bryan Chavez Photography River City Custom Homes - RounTrey - 2015 Homearama Farmhouse with a Modern Vibe Gold Winner - Master Suite Aware of the financial investment clients put into their homes, I combine my business and design expertise while working with each client to understand their taste, enhance their style and create spaces they will enjoy for years to come. It’s been said that I have a “good” eye. I won’t discount that statement and I’d add I have an affinity to people, places and things that tell a story. My clients benefit from my passion and ability to turn their homes into finely curated spaces through the use of beautiful textiles, amazing lighting and furniture pieces that are as timeless as they are wonderfully unique. I enjoy the creative process and work with people who are building their dream homes, remodeling existing homes or desire a fresh take on a well lived-in space. I see the client–designer relationship as a partnership with a desire to deliver an end result that exceeds my client’s expectations. I approach each project with professionalism, unparalleled excitement and a commitment for designing homes that are as livable as they are beautiful.
