The right house at WRONG ROAD

In 2017 the Clients approached Jones Pierce with a new set of Lake Goals

- Design a permanent lake homestead that works for the onslaught of weekend visitors and for the couple.

- Design the site to physiologically shorten the distance between the living level and the lake.

- Reuse the existing house and dock wherever possible.

- Plans for hobbies and post-retirement professions.

- Create golf cart access to the dock on both floors of the house.

- Plan for a lifetime home to be accessible by design without looking institutional.

Project Year: 2017
Country: United States
Zip Code: 36861
Added during the renovation is a walk off area for easy access to those perfect Sunset Views by the Fire pit.
Arial view from the lakeside.
The 80's roof was removed and replaced as a low maintenance exterior and sun shading for the windows. The footprint is the same from the front with the addition of a porch and the primary bedroom behind on the left. Usable outdoor space doesn't need to be between you and the lake. We created a side...
From the front.
One of the boat slips was filled in to create more living space. With seating and a tv for Auburn Tiger away game viewing.
Making the dock livable space.
We think the front door to lake houses should be understated. It is a portal to the Lake not the statement of the house.
The Portal to Lake Life
The new lake elevation has more windows in the kitchen, dining and living rooms with direct views to the water. Three large bays open up the Under Porch with the same views as the main floor.

The porch with wrap around, built-in seating for those larger spontaneous events.... like pizza night!

The living space is open, but quite cozy for two people.
Living Area.
The kitchen sink has a view and the tile walls around it give a fresh look.

The pantry opens ups with a barn door to the stairs to become part of the space when the action requires.
Up the stairs.
The pantry has lots of shelves and an additional sink with a pass through window to the grill and dining porch.

The views and natural light are a must-have when in such a beautiful location.
Let there be light.
