We understand the lifestyle you are designing for because we live it.

Just like you, in the summer, we want to spend our time outside enjoying the lake, beach, and campfire. When winter comes, you can find us out cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. At the end of the day, we want to retreat to a beautiful and inspiring space.

For over 17 years, we have been helping people create spaces designed to fit their personality and function for their lifestyle. We founded Home by Tim+Chris because we love working with our clients to get to know why they love the Kawartha lifestyle and what design requirements they need to fully experience it.
