Project Details

Designed for a family with young children, this informal waterfront house is spread over the hillside sloping 100 feet to the lake. Conceived as a series of outdoor and indoor rooms, the entire site (house and landscape) is marked by the passages between these spaces, each quite different from the other. With alternating shed roofs and a lively mix of outdoor rooms and landscaped terraces, the house appears as a cluster of smaller, individual structures.
