BUCKEYE POINT
GRANT, MN
Situated on the peninsula of a
small Minnesota lake, this home is
surrounded by views of meadow,
rolling woods, and quiet water.
Its three wings, arranged to take
advantage of the natural ridges on
the site, are intimate for the couple
yet spacious enough for large
gatherings. Thoughtful consideration
of this rolling terrain provides access
to natural terraces from the public
space on both levels, maintains
plenty of daylight to the lower level,
and provides a sense of privacy via
elevation to main level bedrooms.
The house is intended to quietly
settle into its beautiful site and allow
its owners to experience nature
from every angle. The angles of the
floorplan are splayed back from
the lakeshore peninsula to allow
for nearly 270° views of the water
from the main living spaces. Two
lightweight stairs provide access
between the main and lower levels to
allow circulation between wings.
Warm wood ceilings complement
the interior’s exposed steel and
concrete. The exterior materials
(zinc, ipe wood, and painted panels)
were selected for their longevity,
durability, and tendency to develop a
natural patina over time.
