Overview

A steeply-sloping Kinloch site presented a rare opportunity  every room could see the lake if the home was resolved carefully. Stepped floor levels, deep eaves, and generous glazing were paired with a fully airtight, insulated envelope so the panoramic view never came at the cost of comfort.
