Description

My favorite part of making this house was definitely figuring out how to arrange the rooms so that the windows were in ideal places (ie windows into common spaces & bedrooms rather than storage closets). I also realized while designing, that the lower floor room placement somewhat resembles my grandparent’s lake house, so it was interesting to see a place I spend so much time at unintentionally influence my design. The kitchen is smaller than I may have preferred, but given that this is a vacation house and not meant to be lived in full time, sacrificing kitchen space for large gathering spaces seemed worth it. The abundance of patio space is for the same reason, and having multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces really makes the house an ideal vacation space for any season. On a larger scale, the roof being slanted out is meant to kind of emphasize the idea of the whole house kind of jutting out of the hillside, towards an imaginary lake. All of the living and leisure space is towards the lake, with the garage, kitchen, storage, stairs, etc. tucked away in the hillside.
