Beautiful homes

The residence’s private areas are located across the courtyard from the living spaces.

"We try to find the straightest line between two points," explains architect Andrew Fischer. "We always want to edit down, and be efficient with space."

Floating steel siding shields the home from the elements.

The patio extends the living space outside in warmer months and is connected to the interior via Marvin Modern Multi-Slide Doors and Marvin Modern Direct Glaze windows. A small path leads through the towering trees, directly to the lake.

Glazing on both sides of the home and an open floor plan allows for beautiful water and forest views throughout the living space.

A built-in desk and shelves define the office nook.

The firm restored the home with exterior metal cladding, which will be more resilient in the coastal weather, and new window units bring in plenty of natural light.
