This gorgeous cottage was designed as a weekend retreat by LVZ Design, nestled on the shores of Lake Simcoe, a lake in southern Ontario, Canada. Created for a couple and their extended family, it offers the perfect setting to enjoy lake life. The designer played a key role in both the construction phase along with the interior design process.

The designer’s approach to this project was to seamlessly blend the owner’s stylish aesthetic with natural elements curated for lakeside living. The living room’s natural beams and wood-clad ceilings exude warmth and authenticity, inviting you to relax and unwind in comfort.
