Overlooking Union Bay, this 7,000-square-foot waterfront residence is a thoughtfully-designed family home and an inviting oasis of space and light. It is also a return to roots, as the new house rests on the site of the owner’s childhood home.
Defined by architectural concrete walls and sheltered by substantial wood and steel beams, an entire wall of lift-slide doors pocket out of sight to open the house to fresh air, an expansive terrace, Union Bay, Husky Stadium and an existing teahouse, which was preserved as a respectful nod to the past.
Internally, the house is composed of two wings. One is all about retreat–a tranquil den, luxurious primary bedroom and bath. The other embraces togetherness–a spacious kitchen, family room and breakfast bay overlooking the water. Between these distinct volumes is a series of lofty open spaces for indoor and outdoor entertaining– an entry courtyard, great room, lakefront terrace and dock.
A subdued color palette of soft greens and dusty blues mixes with clean, low-profile furnishings to create an understated yet elegant foreground to fantastic water views. As you enter the home, the sight of Union Bay pulls you into the dining area of the great room. The sculptural glass chandelier by Lindsey Adelman mimics the reflections of the water without taking away from the landscape beyond.
