MJMA sought to let the 2,746-square-foot home “cascade and hover over the grade, to blend with the landscape, and to have a quiet presence from the water,” so they arranged low-lying rectangular volumes around an exterior courtyard facing Manitouwabing Lake. Then they wove in extensive glazing that allows residents to access the peaceful surroundings from inside.
