THE LAKE HOUSE
2011 Fairfax County Exceptional Design Awards Recipient |
We enlarged and renovated this 1950s split level house, improving its already strong relationship with the water. Two enclosed porches were rebuilt on the lake side as finished extensions of the house. New space was found on the street side by enclosing and enlarging the carport, creating a larger foyer and garage. Dormers were added to increase space and provide interest on what was the painfully dull street side of the house.
Extensive renovations include siding, windows and doors on the exterior. The kitchen and three bathrooms were enlarged and renovated. Each room was improved with the goal of bringing the house up to a level that would match its spectacular lake views.
