MEMORIES OF CHILDHOOD summer vacations and strong sentimental ties to the region guided the architectural and landscape design, transforming the client's property into a relaxing and comfortable lakefront home for three generations of family to enjoy. Embracing the cottage aesthetic of the neighborhood, ensuring the house did not overwhelm the site was critical. Dormers, balconies, and diverse exterior materials bring scale and variation to the exterior. Orientation on the property, integration of the screen porch, and ample outdoor living space maximize the panoramic lakefront vista and provide welcome views to watch grandchildren at play.
