A retired couple sought a compact, modern home that would optimize their beautiful lakeside site. Trillium Architects designed their 2,100 sf home in a clean-lined, minimalist style which fit well with the couple’s budget. Making the most of the site, the home offers outdoor spaces on two levels, with large glazed openings that blur the distinction between indoors and outdoors, keeping the focus on the spectacular natural surroundings.
