We worked closely with our client to replace a lakeside cottage and garage to better enable multi-generational access to lakeside living with design attention to improving the ecological presence, preserving the lake view from multiple rooms and optimizing space use for lakeside visitors.

The main house features three bedrooms, one full bathroom and laundry upstairs with a full kitchen, pantry and half bath on the main floor, and a fireplace for added warmth during chilly months. A three-season screened porch becomes part of the family room space in-season and is closed off by fully pocketed glass doors (14’ span) for the colder months. The wide-bay single car garage allows for plenty of room for winter storage of summer accessories while the second-floor features two bedrooms (that double as office and exercise space) and a full bath for visits from extended family.
