“The house is sited very close to the water horizontally and vertically, so that the lake becomes more a part of everyday living.

Lakehouse winds its way between trees by necessity. The slight twist in the siting actually allowed the house to be more regular in shape as it does so, and also yields many views of the water from rooms that might not otherwise see it.”

—Michael Bulatovich, Architect
