Wheaton
Silver
Gull Lake, Mich.
The Wheaton elevates its modern barn-inspired exterior with a curving hipped roof. Objectives of this home were open living, abundant natural light, and a luxurious master suite. Situated on a waterfront lot, the home also sought to capitalize on lake views and provide outdoor living space. A wall with numerous windows provides the entire space with lake views. A patio and screened porch accommodate large groups for entertaining.
The stair leading to the upper level serves as an anchor and focal point between the two levels. A loft, two bedrooms, and a bunk room provide sleeping quarters for eight people and a space for lounging.
From the Judges
Judges praised the roof detailing and the living room, which they called beautiful.
