"Designed by Still Architects, the Lake Rosseau Cabin is a modern timber cabin situated on the north end of Lake Rosseau in Canada's Muskoka region. Completed in 2024, the cabin's design is a modern tribute to the area's logging mill history, incorporating locally sourced, heavy timbers that are exposed on both the interior and exterior. The structure is located directly adjacent to the waterfront, an atypical positioning made possible by grandfathered regulations that allow it to be sited close to the lake while preserving the existing tree cover. The cabin is raised off the ground, requiring no excavation and minimizing its impact on the natural grade. The architectural approach emphasizes a connection to nature through its materials and siting. The mass timber frame provides a natural, rustic aesthetic, while a generous roof overhang offers protection from the summer sun. Inside, the heavy timber frame is left exposed, adding warmth and character, with elements like the wet bar, featuring Douglas fir timber and Canadian granite, creating a play of light and shadow.
