Low energy costs and low maintenance were a priority when designing this lakeside retirement home. The main living area, kitchen and master suite are on the first floor, the music room and office are in the loft, and storage is in the basement. Choosing the versatile tilt and turn windows was a key decision in the design process. While the windows create a strong connection to the surrounding natural environment, they also maintain the home’s energy efficiency. Even with high winds coming off the lake, the windows can be opened during the summer months for ventilation and block any drafts during the colder months.
