House on a Quiet Bay

Drawing from the nearby lake, farmlands of childhoods past, and light-filled industrial spaces, this new house is a quiet, solid expression of home. Steel trusses, bluestone, and a real shoji screen combine to captivate homeowner and guest alike.

Nestled into its site with a modest yet inviting presence on the street, interior spaces align with the site’s stunning landscape to visually open the home while maintaining privacy.

Combining high design and high performance, the design affords a 53% reduction in energy use for heating and cooling. Mowing and stormwater runoff are also reduced by the home’s integrated landscape, designed to be enjoyed in all four seasons.
