The genesis of this design lay in establishing logic and order on the flat site through architectural definition of use-patterns that provide sanctuary and scale for its inhabitants. The result is a regularized cartesian framework with porous and flexible infill walls. These walls can transform hourly and seasonally as needed to take advantage of the lakeside setting and respond to environmental factors. Deep-covered patios, decks, and a balcony promenade further engage this framework and provide sheltered exterior circulation.The programmatic hierarchy in the home is reflected in its form and plan. A tripartite diagram creates distinct zones for private, public, and service programs, which in turn is manifested by distinct architectural volumes that create interstitial high-traffic crossover zones—an entry vestibule, a kitchen, and an outdoor living space. Sectionally, vertical connections create unique relationships and afford unexpected views and connections between otherwise disparate programs.
