A centuries-old Muskoka island cottage was transformed into an energy-efficient building through this historic restoration project. The existing structure was reused and reconfigured to improve and expand interior spaces. Spray-in-place polyurethane insulation was used between existing studs to seal and insulate the building envelope and extend the seasonal use of the cottage. Original features, such as wood beams, were exposed and celebrated, leaving the classic character of the cottage renewed and restored.
