From Vision at the Shoreline: What We Design at Design by Bobbi

When people ask what we do, the quick answer is; we design residential cottages and accessory buildings.

For us, it’s about much more than just blueprints. It’s about taking that spark of a dream, the one involving morning coffee on the dock or family dinners in a sun-drenched Muskoka room, and using our technical expertise to make it a reality.

Whether you are starting with a blank lot or a family cottage that has seen generations of use, here is how we help you bring your dream to reality.

Architectural Design: New Builds & Beyond

We specialize in the unique challenges of Muskoka’s cottage country. From custom new builds to complex renovations, our focus is on bringing together the traditional aesthetics with modern functionality.

The Fine Details: ARIDO-Certified Interior Design

A cottage should feel as good as it looks. Our team includes an ARIDO-certified designer to ensure the interior of your building matches your personal style and vision. We go beyond picking paint; we handle the technical heavy lifting that makes a house a home:

  • Space Planning & 3D Renders: See your home, and feel the flow—before a single nail is driven.
  • Detailed Technical Planning: Precision plans for lighting, electrical, and custom millwork.
  • Material Curation: Sourcing everything from durable flooring and exterior finishes to the perfect hardware and fixtures.

Navigating the Tough Stuff

In cottage country, topography is often our greatest hurdle. That’s why we don’t just “draw houses”, we develop comprehensive site plans, design septic systems, and engineer structural solutions that respect the land while satisfying Municipal requirements.
