House on Lake That Occupies the Border Between Land and Water

This house on Lake Washington occupies the border
between land and water. The young family lives here
so they renovated their cottage in order to give space
for contemporary lifestyle. They kept the good things like
the friendly scale and casual beach cabin feel but added
a new 400 square feet ground-level and 1000 square feet
second floor. That gave them more brighter rooms
with inner skin made of cedar and glass that imparting
warmth and transparency. Over the glass and wood
is protective shell of steel that can weather winter
storms and the damp lakeside climate.
