“It was essential for James Pitropov of Lakeside Architecture Inc. to perform a thorough investigation as the analysis was used as professional evidence for the purpose of issuing an Emergency Order under section 15 of the Building Code Act. I highly recommend Lakeside Architecture Inc. to provide professional Services for Clients in the Muskoka area.”

“We have worked with James on several projects. In 2009 he designed our 6500 square foot cottage on Muskoka Bay. Since we built, he has come out to our property on numerous occasions and the cottage has been showcased in several magazines. He is very knowledgeable of local bylaws which has facilitated the acquisition of permits and variances. He would think outside the box in developing a property with challenging topography. James is highly creative and and was able to merge my more traditional ideas and my wife’s more modern taste. We are currently (2022) working with James on a third project. Over the last 12 years we have developed a great working relationship with James.”

“James worked with my wife and I to create a beautiful, distinctive, and functional lakeside home which perfectly suits our site on the lake.”

“Creative, innovative, professional, stylish and considerate are some of the words we would use to describe James Pitropov of Lakeside Architecture Inc.  James produced an extremely beautiful one-of-a-kind design using state of the art materials.  He arranged for and oversaw the building of our rear addition with enthusiasm and meticulous attention to precision and detail.”

“James has a fantastic crew of tradesmen, that produced a beautiful, yet complex remodel of our deck. James was always in good contact, and very transparent with costs, and whether we were able to stick to budget or not. The nice part with working with Lakeside was that he was able to pull drawings required for permits all within the scope of the contract. Our project did go over budget, but that was mainly due to the logistics and our preferences in materials and design. Having a crew of trades that actually showed up on time and left on time in Huntsville is few and far between, they were professionals and very skilled at their craft. Thanks again!”

“It was a great pleasure working with James on the cottage and boathouse. He could think outside the box in developing a property with challenging topography, creating spectacular panoramic views. He is very creative and produced awesome cottage and boathouse designs which accommodated both my wife’s more modern taste and my traditional taste.”
