Lake houses are always special because the atmosphere on the lake
shore is calm and relaxing. This amazing house supports the calming idea
thanks to the wood of which it’s built. It’s located on Lake Muskoka,
state Ontario, Canada; it’s called Muskoka Boathouse. This is a
renovated boathouse of 600 square feet. Christopher Simmonds Architects
managed to give the house a very modern look: below the stairs there is a
pier, and above everything is done is natural wood: the floor, the
ceiling and the walls. The furniture is minimalist and its amount is
also minimal; the interior is very simple. Big windows are giving
beautiful views of the lake.
