Bunkie on the Hill
Gravenhurst, ONThe Bunkie on the Hill, tucked into the trees of Muskoka, serves as a peaceful retreat for its owners. Its contemporary reinterpretation of the A-frame cabin features intersecting gables, creating unique window openings and lofty interiors that make the compact space feel expansive. Sustainably sourced and certified wood is central to both the structure and design, with flitch beams—thin steel encased in LVL wood—supporting the large spans, while light wood framing completes the rest. Western red cedar plays a prominent role, cladding the ceilings and soffits, and creating a slatted screen along the entrance walkway. This screen filters changing light throughout the day, casting playful shadows. Inside, the red cedar ceiling adds warmth and texture to the muted palette, paired with white oak floors and maple plywood walls, creating a cozy, lantern-like glow at dusk.
