Bunkie on the Hill / Dubbeldam Architecture + Design

The smallest in a collection of cabins scattered across four-family properties, Bunkie on the Hill serves as a space of respite for a family-oriented client in Muskoka. Designed by Dubbeldam Architecture + Design, the Bunkie is tucked into the trees at the top of a steep slope, providing a quiet space away from the action of the multigenerational family cottages below. A contemporary interpretation of the traditional A-frame shape evokes the quintessential cabin in the woods, differentiated by shifted roof volumes. Reminiscent of the overlapping layers of rock in the surrounding landscape, the split roof design features two intersecting gables that create opportunities for window openings where the roof volumes separate.
