TOOLS & RESOURCES TO CRAFT A HOME WITH CLARITY & CARE.

make the most of your RENOVATION & BUILDING projects.

We are Lee and Dave, a designer and a professional engineer. We have been working on every aspect of home design and building over the past 10 years.

Steep Hill is what we call our cottage in Muskoka, Ontario. It is our home and current building project.

Through our experience over the past decade we have refined our process and are distilling it into useful tools and resources to help folks that are interested in crafting a thoughtful and special home.
