Well crafted of stone, metal and timber, this clean, Asian contemporary custom residence is perfectly at home in its natural surroundings. Built in the location of an old structure, it is positioned only twenty feet from the bulkhead, establishing an intimate relationship between the home and the lake. The connection to the landscape is strengthened by the trellis covered patio, which functions as an outdoor room. Lowering and stepping the main floor allows the home to gently settle into the site. The interior spaces, especially in the kitchen and den, are wrapped in warm finishes.

The development of the architecture and the site were critical to blend the home into this well established, but evolving, neighborhood. One goal was to make the home appear as if it had been there 20 years. The home is designed on just under an acre of land with a primary concern of working around the old, established trees (all but one was saved). The exterior style, driven by the client’s taste of a modern Craftsman home, marries materials, finishes and technologies to create a very comfortable environment both inside and out. Sustainable materials and technologies throughout the home create a warm, comfortable, and casual home for the family of four. Considerations from air quality, interior finishes, exterior materials, plan layout and orientation, thermal envelope and energy efficient appliances give this home the warmth of a craftsman with the technological edge of a green home.
