An active family aspired to have a main level living space that felt connected to the lake. Located on a beautiful wooded lot on Silver Lake in Rockford, Michigan, the property slopes down, maximizing broad sunset views over the lake.

Overview

This home takes full advantage of its elevated position by pushing and pulling the lakeside elevation to maximize the outdoor living experience on both levels.

The multi-layered sequence of spaces is explored through a carefully curated material palette of cut limestone, brick, polished concrete, western red cedar, walnut, glass, and blackened steel. An interior cedar trellis forms an intimate space in the walnut kitchen, while wholly connected to the lake views.

From the street, the home appears quiet and subtle. But, once inside, the design opens to the lake with high ceilings and natural light provided by clerestory windows above. The powerful roof overhang on the lakeside acts as a spatial extension of the primary living areas, giving the entire indoor / outdoor living experience the feeling of being in a pavilion.
