As a new build project, this charming lake home was designed for easy entertaining, and to capture the breathtaking views of the lake on which it is sited. Custom-built walk-out rambler, with stone front and James Hardie shakes, brackets, columns and a stately steep pitched roof including stone chimney with a Jack Arnold copper knight cap, private curved drive, partial wooded front yard, concrete courtyard and front covered porch with stamped concrete and bead board ceiling, create an amazing first impression. Open floor plan with main level living and great entertaining spaces inside and out.

BC&J Architecture designed a floating home that is now located at its permanent location on the Willamette River in Portland. The home was constructed at a Marina an hour from the final home location. Upon completion, the home was floated up the Willamette River to the current site. The homeowners were looking for a river side, cottage style house well suited to entertaining. At 2,100 square feet, the home has an open floor plan with a large kitchen opening to a dining room and the living room with views onto the river. Upstairs, the master bedroom extends toward the river under a large centered dormer. On the opposite side of the master bedroom is a bonus room under a symmetrical dormer that will serve as guest quarters when adult children and grandchildren visit.

The staircase showcases hardwood tread and risers to the second floor, also all hardwood hallways.

This second-story addition to an already 'picture perfect' Naples home presented many challenges. The main tension between adding the many 'must haves' the client wanted on their second floor, but at the same time not overwhelming the first floor. Working with David Benner of Safety Harbor Builders was key in the design and construction process – keeping the critical aesthetic elements in check. The owners were very 'detail oriented' and actively involved throughout the process. The result was adding 924 sq ft to the 1,600 sq ft home, with the addition of a large Bonus/Game Room, Guest Suite, 1-1/2 Baths and Laundry. But most importantly — the second floor is in complete harmony with the first, it looks as it was always meant to be that way. ©Energy Smart Home Plans, Safety Harbor Builders, Glenn Hettinger Photography
