ABOVE: We wanted to take full advantage of the sweeping, spectacular lake views for this custom, single-family home. The rear of the house faces the lake and features large
expanses of glass, roof decks, and terraces so that the surrounding environment becomes part of the design.
FACING PAGE TOP & BOTTOM: We design gathering spaces that are as livable as they are beautiful and work well for daily life and entertaining. A comfortable informal dining
space on an open floorplan is defined by a custom-designed bar, while a first-floor sitting room doubles as a pool cabana through an operable folding wall of glass.
PREVIOUS PAGE: The minimalist, modern feel of the home is expressed in the custom metal stair balusters and linear light fixtures, but warmed up by the use of natural wood
paneling and hand rail.
