Site Considerations
The site is located on a hill overlooking an inland lake.
Design and orientation of the building as well as each individual rooms within take into account site specific considerations such as:
- maximizing solar orientation,
- lake views,
- visual and acoustic privacy,
- respecting the natural sloping terrain and
- shaping the driveway approach around a pair of existing trees.
Design
Design revolves around a cross gabled, traditionally crafted mortise and tenon timber-frame structure.
Layout, design and architectural considerations are carefully worked out to incorporate client's functional needs, consideration of their lifestyle and focus on the timber-frame structure as part of the architectural expression.
Design is shaped by client's wish to have a casual, relaxing environment that celebrates the site and its particular lake views and its distinctive timber-frame structure:
- a Central Gathering Room open to the Dining area and Kitchen - a reflection of the client's informal lifestyle that still allows for entertaining, with a visual focus towards the lake and maximising winter sun exposure.
- spiral stairs leading up to a widow's walk/ viewing gallery.
- rooms and spaces reflecting the timberframe character of the structure.
