Indiana Lakehouse

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION….A FAMILY HOME SITUATED ON AN INLAND LAKE IN INDIANA WAS THE PERFECT LANDING SPOT FOR FAMILY MEMBERS TO ASSEMBLE FOR YEAR ROUND GATHERINGS. THE PREVIOUS KITCHEN SEEMED TO BE AN AFTERTHOUGHT AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INTERIOR & EXTERIOR SPACES WAS A BIT CUMBERSOME. WE TURNED THE FLOORPLAN ON END AND RELOCATED THE KITCHEN TO A RARELY USED SITTING ROOM AT THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE. WHAT HAD BEEN A KITCHEN LACKING IN AMENITIES, WAS RECONFIGURED AND REINTRODUCED AS THE FOYER. THE DINING ROOM–FOR BOTH INFORMAL AND FORMAL DINING WAS SITUATED IN THE CENTER OF THE HOME. THE ELEVATION FACING THE LAKE WAS OUTFITTED WITH A SERIES OF FRENCH DOORS TO JOIN THE SPACES. THE PRIMARY BATH, WHICH ONCE HAD A TUB/SHOWER COMBO GREW INTO A SPA BATH WITH A WALK IN SHOWER AND A LUXURIOUS FREESTANDING SOAKING TUB.
