MacKay-Lyons-Sweetapple Architects has recently completed a collection of modern cabins at the Bigwin Island Golf Club in Baysville, Ontario.
The architects explain, “Each cabin is assembled from a simple kit of parts: a screened-in porch, a deck, a hearth, a great room, a sleeping box, and a roof, all fitted seamlessly together.”
