"The third star of Heated Rivalry is Shane Hollander's "cottage" in the wilds of Ontario, a glass box where Shane and Ilya Rozanov are surrounded only by loons. The actual 2,500-square-foot prefab timber-and-granite house where the show filmed is called Barlochan Cottage and was designed and built by Toronto-based firm Trevor McIvor Architect. "It was very cool to see our work on such a large platform outside of the architectural community,""
"In the show, Shane describes the house as his "favorite place on earth" and emphasizes to Ilya that he didn't buy it, he had it built. The actual house is ideal for a real-estate fetishist like Shane - it's structure is made of Douglas fir and the siding was charred using a traditional Japanese method that "enhanced durability," says Bishop."
"There's a granite central fireplace and concrete slab floors that come with radiant heating to keep the boys warm as they pad around naked. And despite all the windows, Bishop assures people that the cottage is truly secluded: "Once you're inside the spaces, they are very private." That is, unless your father has the keys and needs to pick up his phone charger."
Barlochan Cottage is a 2,500-square-foot prefab timber-and-granite house in the Ontario wilderness designed and built by Trevor McIvor Architect. The structure uses Douglas fir and charred siding treated with a traditional Japanese method to enhance durability. The interior centers on a granite fireplace and concrete slab floors with radiant heating. Extensive glazing creates a glass-box effect while maintaining privacy within the interior spaces. The cottage was built in 2020 for private clients and is not currently available for rent. The house gained national attention after appearing on the show Heated Rivalry, and season two may increase interest.
