A view of Lakefront Modern's white exterior at golden hour. From this view you can see the wood paneled garage door, front entrance with floor to ceiling glass, and clerestory windows lining the street side perspective of the house.

Lakefront Modern

A new home was designed and built upon an existing foundation, replacing a previous residence that had fallen into disrepair. The home now takes full advantage of its urban waterside location. Large, north-facing windows provide fantastic views and let optimal natural light, with minimal glare, fill two artist studios inside. The exterior patios and decks have also been designed for seamless indoor and outdoor use.

Lakefront Modern

A new home was designed and built upon an existing foundation, replacing a previous residence that had fallen into disrepair. The home now takes full advantage of its urban waterside location. Large, north-facing windows provide fantastic views and let optimal natural light, with minimal glare, fill two artist studios inside. The exterior patios and decks have also been designed for seamless indoor and outdoor use.

The entry of the Lakefront Modern residence maintains privacy, yet stepped landscaping allows natural light into the lower level. A large ramp and elevator incorporated into the site design — and an accessible lower-level guest suite — enhance livability. The main floor is designed for the family with a children’s suite that provides a place for play now and teenage study and lounging later. The half bath and the lower level bath are both designed with accessibility in mind as well.
