Lakefront cottage

To capture essential views and breezes, the design places many rooms along the lakeside. It draws inspiration from steeply gabled Victorian cottages of an earlier era. At the same time, it incorporates features common to today’s lakeside architecture.

The home’s close proximity to the deck, beach, and dock maximizes the relatively small site. As a result, the property comfortably supports family vacations and gatherings. Multiple outdoor living spaces encourage enjoyment from spring through fall. In addition, the screened porch extends the connection to the outdoors. Meanwhile, warm wood interiors and a fieldstone fireplace create year-round comfort.
