Sited on a steep and complex piece of land overlooking Grand Lake, the design balance’s structure and softness, mass and light. Every gesture is a negotiation between comfort and scale. Rather than one monolithic volume, the home’s exterior is composed of interlocking forms that follow the contours of the land. This fragmentation grounds the house to the slope while reducing its visual weight from the water. The result is a residence that feels integrated rather than imposed - a contemporary structure that reads as a collection of smaller pavilions. This approach to massing also organizes the interior into distinct zones, creating moments of compression and release that make a large footprint feel personal and approachable. Entry is quiet and composed. A white oak screen wall and built-in bench frame the first view through a 20-foot wall of glass - Grand Lake stretched out like a living mural. Natural light and lake reflections are filtered through a steel and glass staircase with white oak treads that connects all three levels, anchoring the interior around light and movement. The main level unfolds into a open concept kitchen and living space, unified by heavy timber white oak beams and balanced by twin stone-clad fireplaces that rise through double-height volumes. A 20-foot window frames the lake, flooding the space with daylight that shifts from cool morning tones to warm evening reflections. Here, the architecture doesn’t compete with the landscape - it frames it, letting light, texture, and material tell the story. The primary suite continues the dialogue between scale and intimacy. A double-sided fireplace divides the sleeping and lounge areas, while white oak beams and lake views maintain the sense of connection to the greater landscape. In the ensuite, a cast concrete soaking tub rests against a quartzite feature wall, its surface softened by a slatted white oak frame - an interplay of raw and refined, structure and stillness. Beyond the main spaces, the home accommodates the rhythms of a multigenerational family: five additional bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a guest loft with a private entry, a bar and lounge, family room, office, gym, theatre, and even a hidden arcade. The exterior palette mirrors the interior’s quiet confidence: wood siding, large glass openings, a low-pitched standing seam metal roof, and cedar garage doors. Generous overhangs shade the glass from summer sun while allowing winter light to penetrate deep into the rooms. This Grand Lake residence is more than a lakefront retreat; it’s a study in equilibrium. Between exposure and enclosure, simplicity and complexity, solitude and sociability. Through thoughtful massing, honest materials, and calibrated views, the house achieves what it set out to resolve - proving that even at 10,000 square feet, architecture can still feel like home.
