Twin Chimney House

Hovering on the shore of Kenoza Lake, Twin Chimney house rests on stilts, following the rolls and folds of the terrain. Living spaces are kept on a single level, raised just high enough to enjoy long views across the lake. Expanses of glass and a vast, wraparound deck open the house to long summer evenings. Integrated millwork and considerable storage allow for clutter free living, a seamless kitchen and a hidden door to the screened porch. Materials were chosen to weather well and last with minimal maintenance. Sustainably grown timbers clad both the interior and exterior, and reclaimed heart pine flooring brings a natural warmth underfoot. Soapstone lines the bathrooms, where its non-porous surface is both hardworking and quietly spa-like.

A limestone fireplace anchors the great room for when snow falls outside. A highly insulated building envelope and an efficient ERV (energy recovery ventilation) system support comfort, low energy use, and year-round living. An escape from the city, built to serve a family for generations.
