Terrace

Rare Builders’ only Lake Highland residence pairs a red brick street elevation with lake-facing interiors and outdoor rooms.

The Brief

Use the depth of a lakefront property to connect the principal rooms, Florida room, pool and water view.

The Response

An open steel stair and warm wood details organize the interiors. At the rear, the Florida room, outdoor kitchen and pool establish a layered transition to the lake.
