In <strong>the</strong> fall <strong>of</strong> 2017, <strong>the</strong> architecture firm and Leona Rose Interiors teamed<br />
up to create a modern oasis for a family on White Bear Lake. Engaging<br />
<strong>the</strong> site in a respectful way, <strong>the</strong> residence presents a quiet and restrained<br />
one level street front, opening up to a walkout with sweeping views <strong>of</strong> and<br />
access to <strong>the</strong> lake at <strong>the</strong> backside. Three vertical massing elements help to<br />
organize and define <strong>the</strong> program inside <strong>the</strong> home, reinforcing <strong>the</strong> permeability<br />
<strong>of</strong> light and views and <strong>the</strong> relationship to <strong>the</strong> lake.<br />
To contrast <strong>the</strong> transparency and direct visual access on <strong>the</strong><br />
main level, a horizontal clerestory window language was developed<br />
to provide diffuse, private light throughout. To maximize<br />
indoor/outdoor living and support <strong>the</strong> family’s living<br />
from season to season, multiple dynamic stackable sliders<br />
were employed on <strong>the</strong> lakeside <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> home to effectively<br />
blur <strong>the</strong> traditional boundary between inside and outside<br />
space, encouraging true indoor/outdoor living.<br />
