Maximizing glass was important for the homeowners, as they wanted to introduce as much natural light as possible and see the lake from many rooms. This lake house encompasses the owners' style of lake living. This six-piece gable window creates a unique detail for the home, which is repeated throughout. A glass cabinet in the dining area pays tribute to the owner's glass sculpting experience. "We created a built-in china cabinet that has glass in front of it, but you access it from the sides," Chapman explains. "Tere's a window behind it, which is how you see through the cabinet. We didn't want a piece of furniture in front of the view." Te guest quarters have its own entry and can be locked of when not in use. Te suite features a private living area, bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette and a bunk room for the grandchildren. Creating a covered, yet inviting and visually appealing entry to provide covered access into the home during in- clement weather was another challenge. Te least desirable side of the property with the most limited views became the single-vehicle carport site, which then was combined with the front entry of the home. Natural stone piers and stone pathways are accentuated by a custom mahogany front doorway, which features the repeating diamond window pattern. Te mahogany and stone also fulflled the owner's re- quest to develop an exterior style using stone, fber cement lap and shake siding, windows and doors — all of which they felt would capture their personal style of lake living. Te fber cement is in a deep blue color, complemented by cream trim to accent the window and gable details. | PROJECTS: Design Solutions 28 April 2016 QR QualifiedRemodeler.com
