Residential - Renovation

A west privacy wall gives direction to these new exterior spaces by focusing the view to the lake. The wall is also programmed to include storage, lighting and a convenient outdoor kitchen. for your consideration @dwell.com

Taking advantage of the natural southwest orientation of the site to the lake, this new three-level 3,500 SF house replaces a 1920’s family cottage north of Grand Rapids, Michigan for your consideration @dwell.com

The main level provides the primary entrance with expansive views and a combined living, dining and kitchen area, as well as guest bedroom suite. The private main level deck expands the living area by 350 SF through an 18-foot sliding glass wall and has direct access to the lower lakeside patio. for your consideration @dwell.com

With so much glass, deep roof overhangs will be used with a post and beam pre-fabricated structure along with wood louvers to maintain comfort and privacy. for your consideration @dwell.com

The second level shifts two feet to the west over the first level and along with a shade trellis, will keep the hot summer sun out of the main living areas while allowing the lower winter sun to penetrate deep into the interior. for your consideration @dwell.com

Passive cooling strategies are being used to capture the naturally cool breezes off the lake through operable window locations. for your consideration @dwell.com
