A customer asked me if there was anything special they need to take into consideration when it comes to design of a lake home.
From a design perspective, building on a lake not only presents some challenges, but also several opportunities. Obviously, creating expansive views from as many rooms as possible towards the lake should be a goal. Since you’ll be spending time outdoors in and around the lake, a bathroom should be easily accessible. The garage should not interfere with the view. In fact, it should probably be placed towards the front of the home. And, depending on the climate, an open or screened porch will offer an opportunity to appreciate the view of the lake.
