For one London homeowner, getting away from it all doesn't require a long commute to cottage country. The attractions of a Muskoka retreat are as close as the room next door. A timber-frame graet room has been incorporated into the design of this two-storey stucco home, which was built by Harasym Developments. the rustic beams and soaring cathedral ceiling offers teh appeal of a northern lodge, while the vivid colours and contemporary furnings convey the sophisication of a New York loft.
Company president Mike Harasym says timber framing creates a sense of gradneur that is difficult to achieve any othe way. "The timber frame reinforces the feeling of strength and structure," he says.
