LAKE IVANHOE

Set on an elevated lakefront site with views toward both the water and downtown skyline, the Ivanhoe residence is organized around two distinct porches that shape the experience of the home. The open front porch faces the lake and landscape, establishing a generous outdoor room that anchors the design and frames the approach from the neighborhood. Tucked behind the house, a more intimate porch overlooks the pool and provides a quieter setting for private moments.

The main living spaces are positioned between these two outdoor rooms, allowing daily life to unfold in constant connection with the surrounding environment. Kitchen, dining, and living areas open naturally to both porches, creating an easy flow between public and private zones. Bedrooms and secondary spaces branch directly from the central living area, reinforcing a plan that keeps the home connected while maintaining strong visual and physical connections to the outdoors.
