Lakeside Contemporary
New Construction
An Organic Contemporary Story This home is more than architecture—it’s a legacy renewed. For decades, the property was the cherished site of a family’s summer cottage, a seasonal retreat layered with memory and ritual. When the time came to build anew, the lot itself presented both challenge and opportunity: its limited width demanded a design that was at once efficient and imaginative.
The result is an organic contemporary home that embraces its natural surroundings with quiet confidence. Every detail is guided by restraint and intention—lines remain clean, but never cold; expanses of glass invite in the shifting rhythms of daylight; textures are layered with warmth, grounding the modern framework in comfort and familiarity. Here, light and texture take center stage. Natural sunlight pours through clerestory windows and expansive openings, dancing across surfaces that celebrate touch: hand-hewn woods, woven textiles, and stone with a subtle patina. These materials infuse the house with an elemental honesty, softening its contemporary edges and welcoming both everyday living and memory- making. In a home defined by its history, limitations, and enduring warmth, the architecture becomes less about constraint and more about invitation—a place where legacy and light coexist beautifully.
“A Cottage Reimagined” On the site of their longtime summer escape, a family creates a warm, modern haven where sunlight,texture, and memory weave the story of home."
