The Gathering Place
A waterfront retreat designed to bring people together for generations to come
Designed with entertaining in mind, this custom cedar deck creates an effortless connection between the cabin, the beach, and the surrounding landscape. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, from the generous built-in seating and architectural timber stairs to the subtle herringbone detailing and flush fascia that elevate the finished design.
Crafted from clear Western Red Cedar, the expansive outdoor living space offers multiple places to gather, relax, or simply take in the view. Built-in benches tucked between deck levels invite quiet moments with a book, while a custom cedar privacy screen provides separation without sacrificing natural light. A handcrafted outdoor shower, finished with locally collected beach stone and glass, adds another meaningful connection to the surrounding environment.
Inside the cabin, careful updates honoured its 1950s character while making it more comfortable for year-round use. Original wood floors were restored, the kitchen was thoughtfully refreshed with custom cabinetry and modern appliances, and a high-efficiency fireplace was installed to extend the cabin season well beyond the summer months. The result is a timeless retreat that respects the history of the original cabin while enhancing the way it can be enjoyed for years to come.
