Energy Efficiency.
This home is a model of energy efficiency, featuring continuous insulation across walls, roof, and foundation with values that far exceed code requirements. The meticulous attention to airtight detailing prevents energy loss, ensuring a consistently comfortable environment. All-electric heating and cooling are achieved through the use of energy-efficient minisplits and condensers, while energy recovery systems further optimize the performance of heating and air conditioning. The result is a home that surpasses modern standards for sustainability and comfort.
Transformed Getaway.
The complete rebuild of this lakeside retreat honors the original footprint, a necessity given the home’s proximity to the water. What was once a dark, low, and damp cabin has been transformed into an airy, bright, and well-insulated vacation home, offering both comfort and style. The redesign expanded upward to preserve the home's relationship with the lake, avoiding any further encroachment on the shoreline.
Exterior finishes were selected for their low maintenance and long-lasting durability, ensuring the home remains beautiful for years. Inside, finishes were chosen for their natural durability, beauty, and environmental integrity, with locally sourced materials used whenever possible. The result is a family-sized private retreat that seamlessly blends modern comfort with thoughtful, sustainable design.
