In designing 40 cabins for a golf club on Bigwin Island, a forested resort on Lake of Bays, north of Toronto, architect Brian MacKay-Lyons became acutely aware of the sight lines. Deer had chewed out the undergrowth, so, on the initial site visit, he could see the lake even from the center of the island. Accordingly, he lined up the eaves of his cedar shingle roofs with the top of the grazing line under the boughs of maple, pine, and ash trees.
