This modern waterfront vacation home is designed to welcome large gatherings, offering a series of connected indoor and outdoor spaces shaped by the unique constraints of its narrow lakeside site. The resulting linear, segmented layout takes full advantage of the property’s depth while maintaining uninterrupted views of the water.

At the heart of the home is a double-height great room, where expansive windows wash the interior with natural light and create an airy, open atmosphere overlooking the lake. A second-floor balcony extends into this volume, providing a dramatic overlook and enhancing the connection between living spaces.

On the lower level, the pool area incorporates a tornado shelter—an added safety feature requested by the owner and contractor—designed discreetly into the program without compromising the home’s architectural clarity.

Sustainable strategies include a high-performance building envelope and enhanced window systems, improving energy efficiency and comfort throughout the home. Currently under construction, the Waterfront Residence blends contemporary design, natural light, and thoughtful structural solutions to craft an inviting getaway for family and friends.
