The construction of “Riverhaus” started in May of 2020. The custom design is based on multiple homes previously designed and built by the owners whose goal it was to create the perfect modern family home. Located in Bracebridge on the shores of the Muskoka River, this home is one of a kind.
The exterior wood siding is treated using a Japanese wood burning technic called Shou Sugi Ban. In this process over 3,500 linear feet of wood was hand torched, scraped, washed, spar varnished and then torched again. This preserves the wood for decades without the need for new treatment.
Corten steel was used as an accent to divide the rust coloured wood, the black standing seam metal roof and the metal siding of the bedroom wing. Red Western Cedar is also as a warm accent on the modern black metal on the master bedroom balcony. 42 soffit pot lights illuminate the exterior roof line.
