The Muskoka Boathouse, designed by architects Brigitte Shim and of Shim-Sutcliffe Architects, was commissioned by the clients for the purpose of creating a warm and inviting point of connection for the clients family and friends. In order to achieve this, Shim-Sutcliffe Architects worked with the clients, Gerald Sheff and Shanitha Kachan, from the beginning when searching for a peninsula situated in the Canadian Shield. In designing the boathouse, Shim-Sutcliffe’s main concept behind the project was, “less is more ”, meaning that the buildings on Point William would become a tool to experience nature. Shim and Sutcliffe chose the materials carefully so that the materials used on the inside will reflect the materials found surrounding the site. To better articulate this concept, these materials were incorporated into the design as a way to experience nature both inside and outside. One of the ways this was done was through the vertical placement of the small wooden walls in order to mimic a forest. (en) |
