Project Profile: Lakeshore Retreat Creates Immersive Experience with RHEINZINK-GRANUM
WOBURN, Mass. — The architecture firm Booth Hansen designed a private retreat on the forested shores of Lake Huron in Ontario. Treading lightly on the previously undeveloped lot, the owners sought to maximize the views and access to outdoors, while remaining good stewards of the land. The seven-acre setting hosts a cluster of standalone “cabins” connected by weathertight walkways to total 4,500 square feet.
Thomas Young Builders Ltd. constructed three of the five cabins parallel to the water, following the site’s natural contours. The envelope of each cabin showcases RHEINZINK-GRANUM® basalt-colored, matte-finished, architectural-grade zinc. Nearly 12 tons of the metal was provided by Sheet Metal Supply Ltd.
