Creative and environmentally sensitive design solutions resulted in a cottage-style home that successfully blurs the line between inside and out. The orientation and interior design of the rooms further places the emphasis on the lakeside views.

What the judges said: This contemporary interpretation of the cottage type offers a surprising use of vernacular elements through the gabled and shed roof forms, along with a generous use of brackets, balcony, pergola and façade surfaces. The finely detailed, white interior spaces seem to comfortably flow within this home.
