New "Prow" House on the Lake

Starting with a very constricted lot on a desirable lake, the owner needed to create a home that would be long and narrow, yet accomplish all the living spaces for a busy family.

Placing the windows facing the side and the lake provided daylighting and focused vistas. Designed for living lakeside, the house has a deck, walkout basement, and tall windows in the living room. In the off-season, the lower level swimming pool and sauna provide entertainment and a place to gather.

The two-story great room includes the kitchen, living and dining area, fireplace, and stair to the loft.

The swimming pool, pool bathroom, sauna, and kitchenette are ready for year-round parties and family swimming time.

Above the garage is the family room, accessible by spiral stair, with its own heating and cooling.

The connecting volume between the garage and house contains the laundry, powder room, and mudroom.
