LAKE OF THE WOODS ISLAND HIDEAWAY

Location:
Lake of the Woods, ON, Canada

Project Type:
Recreational
New Build

The client's desire for a unique and eco-friendly vacation retreat was the driving force behind this project's design. In response, the Amphora team conceptualized a building that leveraged the property's natural beauty, combined with a bold and cutting-edge construction approach.

The Island Hideaway features extensive fenestration, which offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, and allows guests to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors from the comfort of the indoors. To complement the glass, our team integrated repurposed shipping containers into the design. These containers not only add an industrial edge but also provide a sustainable and cost-effective solution for the structure's framework.

This project balances the client's desire for a secluded retreat with the need for modern amenities via a solar power energy system and rainwater collection technology. The result is a luxurious, eco-friendly, and self-sustaining retreat that offers an unparalleled guest experience.

VISIT THE LAKE

When we design, it's not about conquering the landscape but cohabiting with it. Every window frame in our lake projects is a celebration of this philosophy, turning panoramic views into live masterpieces. But we're not just romantics at heart; we're pragmatists too. Repurposed shipping containers, solar power systems, rainwater collection technology - these aren't just cool features, they're our commitment to sustainable luxury. Each step towards this balance is a step closer to a greener future, a testament to architecture's potential as an ally of our planet.
