Overview
This 2,905-square-foot lakeside residence, a collaborative creation with a client known for exceptional architectural drawings, nestles on the footprint of an earlier camp. The choice to build on this existing site was to keep the home’s closeness to the lake, given the original camp’s location far inside the present shoreline setback requirements. The newly constructed master suite meets the current minimum shoreline setback, and a sleek glass corridor links it to the main living space.
The architectural vision melds natural materials with modern design elements, focusing on maximizing lakeside views through extensive glass use. A distinctive 8-foot mezzanine extends over the kitchen, crafting a cozy atmosphere. At the same time, a cantilevered stone fireplace with interlocking bluestone lintels emphasizes the home’s linear theme. The unique sawtooth staircase, anchored against a granite chimney, offers dual perspectives: internal views of the chimney through the stairs and external vistas across the lake through the large glass wall adjacent to the staircase.
