High Water Residence

The home tucks against the hillside to clear waterfront setbacks and rising water levels while preserving mature trees that were important to the owners. Vehicle and guest access arrive from above, leading to a sheltered entry courtyard. This threshold not only offers direct access into the home but also flows seamlessly through to the patio and down toward the water. The design creates a thoughtful sequence of arrival — moving from hillside to courtyard to lake, with framed views at every turn.

The architecture is bold and modern, yet responsive to its context. Every constraint became an opportunity to refine the experience, resulting in a home that balances openness with privacy and turns a difficult site into a place of clarity, connection, and retreat.
