exterior rendering
We are making the final revisions to our architectural drawings on this project, which is scheduled for a March 1, 2011, groundbreaking.
The home implements a variety of time-tested construction techniques. Salvaged douglas fir timbers will be fashioned with traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery, granite quarried from New York state will adorn most of the exterior, and natural materials from the site itself will be used to make pathways and site-cast sills and columns, and local beach sand will texture our mortar joints.
The home is curved, optimizing the view of Lake Erie and focusing the home's initial presentation on approach. The curved form also will naturally deflect harsh lake winds, and contributes a stunning aspect in the Lake Room, long hallways, and the arbor. Local patterns of material usage, exposed rafters, and operable shutters complement other nearby buildings.
