This design project renovated an existing lake front home for a new owner. The previous design did not allow for appropriate lake views or a covered porch and a large chimney denied the interior spaces with ample light. The new design removed the chimney and replaced much smaller windows with floor to ceiling glass. The larger windows and new porch adjacent to the kitchen allows for indoor outdoor living spaces with extraordinary lake views from both interior and exterior spaces. Swooping rooflines of cedar shake, cedar shingle exterior siding, river stones and earth tone timbers gives the residence a sense of place on the lake.
