The rear facing exercise has great views of the rear yard through a set of windows that overlook the copper roof of the screened porch below. The bunkroom is configured to provide sleeping accommodations for up to 4 people. Upstairs, a generous double vanity bathroom is shared by a bunkroom, exercise space, and private bedroom. Despite its small footprint, the master suite manages to incorporate several closets, built-ins, and adjacent master bath complete with a soaker tub flanked by separate enclosures for shower and water closet. A private study serves as the perfect buffer between the homes master suite and living room. Further back, a centrally placed kitchen is connected to all of the other main level entertaining spaces through expansive cased openings. Inside, a linear foyer reveals a generous staircase with cascading landing. To the rear, a pair of gables with copper roofing flanks a covered dining area that connects to a screened porch.
A glance of the exterior reveals a simple story and a half gable running the length of the home, enveloping the majority of the interior spaces. This cozy lake cottage skillfully incorporates a number of features that would normally be restricted to a larger home design. Bringing the natural finishes to the interior of the residence, provided the opportunity for unique focal points that complement the stunning stone fireplace and timber trusses. Two main level master suites remain private from the rest of the program yet provide a complete sense of incorporation. The kitchen, dining room, living room and screened porch are connected, allowing for the large family gatherings to take place inside, should the weather not cooperate. In optimizing the views of the lake and developing a strategy to maximize natural ventilation, an ideal, open-concept living scheme was implemented. Keeping in dialogue with the surrounding site, a palette of natural materials and finishes was selected to provide a classic backdrop for all activities, bringing importance to the adjoining environment. The 7,600 square-foot residence was designed for large, memorable gatherings of family and friends at the lake, as well as creating private spaces for smaller family gatherings.
