The exposed location of Whistling Wind Island, far from the mainland, demands a resilient solution by the design team at Akb Architects, designed to withstand volatile weather patterns, opting for monolithic form and cedar shingles blending seamlessly into the rocky terrain.
The buildings feature deep windows, overhangs for shade, and thermal control, alongside an interior design using local materials like Muskoka granite and whitewashed cedar boards to create a connection to the site, with open-plan layouts promoting communal living.
