Overview

Stone in Elevation. Fire in Focus.

TimberFlame is a full-property Muskoka waterfront landscape transformation, connecting the cottage, outdoor living spaces, pathways and shoreline into one continuous composition.

The property moves through multiple elevations, so the landscape was designed to work naturally with the exposed Canadian Shield bedrock and existing terrain rather than flattening or overpowering it.

Extensive natural granite and flagstone work shapes the property: large terraces, flagstone pathways, granite stairs and shoreline transitions, each built to feel inevitable on the site.

The main outdoor living area centres on a large custom outdoor fireplace, with an expansive lower terrace, hot tub area and covered seating built for every season of cottage life.

Natural granite boulders and existing bedrock were folded into the shoreline and surrounding landscape, so the finished property feels like it has always belonged there.

Perennial planting is intentionally natural and relatively low maintenance, softening the stonework without taking anything away from the Muskoka setting.
