Part of the way some businesses differentiate themselves is via physical appearance inside and out. This can be particularly effective for businesses that have associations with a particular theme.

Our feature project this month is a case in point. This business, with its genesis in the Muskoka region of Ontario, takes advantage of the rugged wood and rock characteristics associated with this beautiful and popular tourist and cottage destination of the province.

The muted reds and greens, together with the neutral browns are completely reflective of the Muskoka region. The window awnings and several faux dormers are also reminiscent of Muskoka cottage country.

The inspired use of Fusion Stone Great Lakes thin stone veneer in the popular Brindle colour completes the picture and sets the appropriate scene at the entryway. The raw wooden beams and posts perfectly complement the stone work.

You can readily appreciate how all of the elements of this design have been selected with care and intelligence. Together they present a welcoming, Muskoka-like impression that invites one to step inside to experience and enjoy the food and ambience.

Don’t forget, Fusion Stone is available in three distinct profiles and comes in multiple colours. It is also available at over 1,500 locations across Canada. Ask your building supply retailer about Fusion Stone and visit fusionstone-staging.v3wqpttp-liquidwebsites.com.

Watch for our next feature project in August.
