Lakefront Modern

This home takes full advantage of its urban waterside location, aptly named the Lakefront Modern residence. Large, north-facing windows provide fantastic views and let optimal natural light, with minimal glare, fill two artist studios inside. The exterior patios and decks have also been designed for seamless indoor and outdoor use. The entry of the Lakefront Modern home maintains privacy, yet stepped landscaping allows natural light into the lower level. A large ramp and elevator incorporated into the site design — and an accessible lower-level guest suite — enhance livability throughout the property. The main floor is designed for the family with a children’s suite that provides a place for play now and teenage study and lounging later. The half bath and the lower level bath are both designed with accessibility in mind as well. This new home is built upon an existing foundation, replacing a previous residence that had fallen into disrepair.
