The cottage is for a large extended family with older children and grandchildren.
The Municipality permits only a main cabin and one sleeping cabin.  An existing boathouse is grandfathered.  The cottage is to be used from May to November.  It is not insulated and the water is shut off when freezing weather begins.

The ‘bunkies’ are separate but connected at the corners making each an individual cabin yet part of the collective whole. The second ‘bunkie’ houses a WC, Laundry and outdoor shower. They each have their own private deck and are connected to the main cabin by a roof that covers the front entrance.

The master bedroom cabin is separate.  It follows the same structural format.  It contains a bed sitting area with fireplace and bathroom.

The glaciated rock, almost polished in some cases, follows a north south direction, making obvious the orientation for the cottage, a skinny bar of graying cedar parallel to the granite striations of the Canadian Shield. The striations and cottage lie perpendicular to a line drawn between Red Rock Light House to the west, a government navigation target for Great Lakes shipping and the Snug Harbour Light House to the east, metaphorically locating the cottage in to the universe.  The spectacular views to open water are only apparent after entering the Living Room.  The Kitchen hub is central to the space between Dining and Living and affords views of: those approaching the island by boat at the Boathouse; the long views to the south; the navigation target and Snug Harbour Light House.

Decks are designed without guards where the change in level is kept to 60 cm so as not to obstruct the view from inside the cottage with guards and handrails.
