LONE PINE

Set on a large, wooded lakefront site, the home is carefully positioned to preserve the existing tree canopy while establishing a quiet relationship to the water beyond. The arrival sequence is deliberately restrained, with the house tucked into the landscape and largely concealed from the street, allowing the natural setting to lead the experience. Views are oriented both toward and away from the lake, balancing openness with privacy and creating moments of retreat throughout the home.

The floor plan is shaped by an extensive art collection, with each piece assigned a specific place and visual relationship to both architecture and landscape. An elevated, insulated crawl space raises the home above the site, offering flood protection while creating a sense of lightness through floating entry stairs and terraced planters. At the rear, the raised floor height frames elevated lake views and supports an infinity-edge pool, reinforcing the home’s role as a private, carefully curated sanctuary embedded in nature.
