Orren Pickell Building Group**Project Overview**
This new construction home is built next to a picturesque lake, and the bar adjacent to the kitchen and living areas is designed to frame the breathtaking view. This custom, curved bar creatively echoes many of the lines and finishes used in other areas of the first floor, but interprets them in a new way.
**What Makes This Project Unique?**
The bar connects visually to other areas of the home custom columns with leaded glass. The same design is used in the mullion detail in the furniture piece across the room. The bar is a flowing curve that lets guests face one another. Curved wainscot panels follow the same line as the stone bartop, as does the custom-designed, strategically implemented upper platform and crown that conceal recessed lighting.
**Design Challenges**
Designing a curved bar with rectangular cabinets is always a challenge, but the greater challenge was to incorporate a large wishlist into a compact space, including an under-counter refrigerator, sink, glassware and liquor storage, and more. The glass columns take on much of the storage, but had to be engineered to support the upper crown and provide space for lighting and wiring that would not be seen on the interior of the cabinet. Our team worked tirelessly with the trim carpenters to ensure that this was successful aesthetically and functionally. Another challenge we created for ourselves was designing the columns to be three sided glass, and the 4th side to be mirrored. Though it accomplishes our aesthetic goal and allows light to be reflected back into the space this had to be carefully engineered to be structurally sound.

Tamarack NorthThis traditional home located on Lake Rosseau is every athlete’s dream home. With a tennis court, a basketball court and two outdoor bars there is always something to do on Blackforest Island. The outdoor bar located beside the tennis court lies under a large timber frame gazebo supported by structural beams throughout the space. Moving down toward the water is a second bar area with a shingled roof, perfect for those hot summer days on the lake.
Featured in the interior of this Lake Rosseau cottage is a large open concept sunroom with folding sliding doors that walk out onto the outdoor patio. This space is not only great for entertaining but a great way to connect with nature at the cottage. The all white interior screams lake house and is a classic and timeless style.
Tamarack North prides their company of professional engineers and builders passionate about serving Muskoka, Lake of Bays and Georgian Bay with fine seasonal homes.
