East Lakeshore
East Lakeshore is an Arts and Crafts design that balances heavy and light elements. The home features a robust stone base with massive angled pilasters that gracefully taper as they rise, creating a sense of upward movement. Supported by these are substantial timber columns and beams, intentionally designed to appear lighter through their tapered form. The arched trusses add grace and elevate the bottom chord above the windows, maximizing natural light and unobstructed views. Pagoda-style curved eaves in the roof enhance the overall levity. This thoughtful interplay of materials and forms culminates in a home that feels both grounded and airy.
“Context is so important, not to mimic but to become part of the place. I wanted a building that acknowledges its surroundings.”
