SITE ACCESS AND STRUCTURE
The home is organized in direct response to the steep lakeside terrain, with grading and elevation change informing the massing, circulation, and sequence of spaces. Access is carefully resolved by positioning the garage slightly below the main road, creating a greater sense of privacy while maintaining reliable year-round entry. An integrated elevator connects all primary living levels, allowing the home to function comfortably across its vertical organization.

EXTERIOR MATERIALS
The exterior is defined by the contrast between dark brown vertical siding and a natural light gray stone base, creating a grounded yet dramatic presence along the shoreline that remains legible from the water. Secondary materials and expansive glazing support this composition, which draws inspiration from the rocky shoreline and tall coniferous trees surrounding the site, reinforcing a strong visual connection between the home, the lake, and the landscape.
