Building in Bala.
Bala holds down Lake Muskoka's west shore where the lake spills into the Moon River, a village of long-held family cottages, granite drops straight into dark water, and more history per shoreline foot than anywhere on the lake.
What building here involves.
West-side sites are classic Canadian Shield building: exposed granite that laughs at standard foundation details, elevation changes between road and water that turn a staircase into a design feature, and mature pines worth planning around rather than through. Cottages handed down through generations also carry decades of undocumented modifications, so renovation work here starts with finding out what is actually holding the building up. We look first, then draw.
Working around Lake Muskoka, the Moon River, Torrance, and the rest of Muskoka & cottage country.
