Drake Devonshire Inn +tongtong
In the small historic town of Wellington, in Prince Edward County, design firm +tongtong was enlisted to reinvent a tired bed and breakfast and original, c. 1880 foundry into an 11-room and two-suite contemporary inn. Perched over a meandering creek and a private waterfront, with sweeping views of Lake Ontario, the inn is the rural counterpart to its hip, urban sister, Toronto’s Drake Hotel.
The approach has been to draw inspiration from the culture background and vernacular of the local community while also instilling a contemporary perspective to the mix. The Drake Devonshire’s aesthetic cues blend this with inspiration pulled from a lexicon of references including the British country inn, retreats in the Hamptons, summer camps, and Southern Ontario’s farmhouses and cottages, with their tapestry of historical layers and styles, particularly their practical ad-hoc renovations, readily available building materials and mismatched furnishings.
