View from the lake, the house terraces up the hillside, drawing inspiration from the landscape. Strong horizontal planes are created by the pool edge, deck levels, and roof surfaces as they jut out. These surfaces, set off by large expanses of glass, mirror the trees during the day. The view from the front has low-slung forms and a combination of coursed limestone and mahogany siding to shelter the home from the street and surrounding neighborhood. Visitors embark on a series of varying experiences approaching the front door. There are faint glimpses of the lake through screened fenestration at the entrance, hinting at what’s to come.
