Designing for Dock Appeal

This had been a sort of thrown together house on the banks of Highland Lake when frozen pipes over a winter destroyed its interior. The remodel of that house no longer made sense. Instead we started over from scratch (our first tear down!), this time with a solid foundation and the opportunity to create a home that would shine. It was clear from the start that the view from the lake made the audience for this home's facade the lake and its boaters. A long sloping gable and wrap around porch keep the house to scale, and the way it sits gently into its sloping site let it roll gracefully right up to the lake edge and dock.
