This contemporary conservatory located in Hamilton, Massachusetts features our solid Sapele mahogany custom glass roof system and Andersen 400 series casement windows and doors. Our client desired a space that would offer an outdoor feeling alongside unique and luxurious additions such as a corner fireplace and custom accent lighting. The combination of the full glass wall façade and hip roof design provides tremendous light levels during the day, while the fully functional fireplace and warm lighting creates an amazing atmosphere at night. This pairing is truly the best of both worlds and is exactly what our client had envisioned. Acting as the full service design/build firm, Sunspace Design, Inc. poured the full basement foundation for utilities and added storage. Our experienced craftsmen added an exterior deck for outdoor dining and direct access to the backyard. The new space has eleven operable windows as well as air conditioning and heat to provide year-round comfort. A new set of French doors provides an elegant transition from the existing house while also conveying light to the adjacent rooms. Sunspace Design, Inc. worked closely with the client and Siemasko + Verbridge Architecture in Beverly, Massachusetts to develop, manage and build every aspect of this beautiful project. As a result, the client can now enjoy a warm fire while watching the winter snow fall outside. The architectural elements of the conservatory are bolstered by our use of high performance glass with excellent light transmittance, solar control, and insulating values. Sunspace Design, Inc. has unlimited design capabilities and uses all in-house craftsmen to manufacture and build its conservatories, orangeries, and sunrooms as well as its custom skylights and roof lanterns. Using solid conventional wall framing along with the best windows and doors from top manufacturers, we can easily blend these spaces with the design elements of each individual home. For architects and designers we offer an excellent service that enables the architect to develop the concept while we provide the technical drawings to transform the idea to reality. For builders, we can provide the glass portion of a project while they perform all of the traditional construction, just as they would on any project. As craftsmen and builders ourselves, we work with these groups to create seamless transition between their work and ours.

This modern, custom built oasis located on Lake Rosseau by Tamarack North is destined to leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated after a weekend spent here. Throughout both the exterior and interior of this home are a great use of textures and warm, earthy tones that make this cottage an experience of its own. The use of glass, stone and wood connect one with nature in a luxurious way. The great room of this contemporary build is surrounded by glass walls setting a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, allowing you to unwind and enjoy time with friends and family. Featured in the bedrooms are sliding doors onto the outdoor patio so guests can begin their Muskoka experience the minute they wakeup. As every cottage should, this build features a Muskoka room with both the flooring and the walls made out of stone, as well as sliding doors onto the patio making for a true Muskoka room. Off the master ensuite is a beautiful private garden featuring an outdoor shower creating the perfect space to unwind and connect with nature. Tamarack North prides their company of professional engineers and builders passionate about serving Muskoka, Lake of Bays and Georgian Bay with fine seasonal homes.

Situated mid-point link between the main house and the sleeping addition (right), and liked by floating bridges, the "tea room" (left) serves primarily as an on-grade "tree house" or playroom for the children.
