The client seeks a house well suited to extended family gatherings at the lake. This Georgia house, adapted from a developer plan, reorganizes the massing around a grid with dormers marking the order and setting up the reading of the massing. Shifts of the roof and centerline enrich the experience of interior and exterior space with a subtle complexity. The stair is celebrated as a major dynamic feature of the interior experience. The lakeside porches and mudroom/service area overlay the primary mass, counterbalancing the composition. The two primary gable ends are treated with unique features, a projecting window informally tied to a chimney at the north end and a sleeping porch above the master bath providing a more formal end composition at the south facade. The scale of the windows is manipulated to flood the interior with natural light, provide amble views of the lake, and to serve as the dominant feature of the architecture.
