How can we enhance the interactions of family while engaging the lake frontage on a thin lot with a home only 16 feet wide?

Fort Erie Lake House
The thin 16-foot wide house contains spaces that are arranged linearly to fit the narrow property. The design connects the beach to the heavily vegetated yard through a simple palette of materials that creates an uninterrupted flow throughout the interior spaces of the home.
Pavilions for writing, woodworking, and music recording dot the property and choreograph walking paths. These paths unfold with a sense of discovery as one moves around the property. Each room responds to the owners’ lifestyle and working habits while engaging the surrounding nature, bringing the outside in and the inside out.
