Set on a quiet bay off Walker’s Point, this custom Lake Muskoka cottage was designed as a true multi-generational retreat. The original structure was removed to make way for a space that feels timeless, comfortable, and connected to the landscape.

Expansive windows with transoms frame the water, while a welcoming Muskoka room extends the living space into the outdoors. A fully finished walkout basement ensures every square foot serves the family that gathers here — children, grandchildren, and all the moments in between.

Meet Ryan Robinson 🤝
Co-Founder, RBA Projects North Inc.

Ryan’s love for cottage country started on Kawagama Lake in Dorset and grew at his family’s retreat on Dickie Lake—where summers, holidays, and lifelong friendships (including with co-founder Rob Allan) were forged. That lakeside upbringing shaped his appreciation for craft, community, and creating spaces people cherish.

A McMaster graduate and varsity rugby player, Ryan honed his construction skills in general building, dock work, and masonry before leading his own company, learning firsthand the value of teamwork, client care, and attention to detail.

Today, he brings that dedication to RBA Projects North, ensuring every project reflects his respect for clients’ visions. Outside work, Ryan enjoys family life with his wife Colleen and two sons, plus skiing, mountain biking, CrossFit, hiking, and adventures with their dogs.

Small spaces don’t have to feel small. With the right vision and a few strategic design moves, even the most compact footprint can live larger, brighter, and smarter.

Our latest blog breaks down the renovation ideas we rely on every day. Opening up layouts for better flow. Using vertical space with intention. Built-ins that work as hard as they look. Multi-functional furniture that earns its keep. Light, airy materials that make a room feel twice its size.

If you’re planning a renovation or rethinking the way your home works, this is a smart place to start.

Our Summerhill Custom Home project is coming together, and it’s the details that bring it to life.

This 3rd-floor bedroom features a stunning triangular @skygen_windows dormer, paired with white oak flooring for warmth and texture.

Because every element counts when creating a room you’ll never want to leave.
