The Colenbrander Story

Originally, the Client contacted an outside design firm.

Client tendered the design to 5 Construction Management companies. While CedarCoast’s bid was one of the two highest, CedarCoast was selected because it fixed the majority of construction costs and provided the most detailed materials and quality specifications.
This home features a contemporary interior design with a large proportion of glass paired with wood accents/trims. The main floor walls and ceilings were finished with painted, v-joint material as can be found in updated, Olde Muskoka cottages common to the area.
One of the challenges was the very narrow and steep building site which required a great deal of advanced construction planning. Working around the mature trees on site took great care as well. The garage, located on the third level of this vacation home, required additional structural engineering.
