New residence on large property in Ross, CA. Home sited at the back of a large flat area up against the foot of a steep slope. Front of property developed with pool and lawn play area, hillside had 3 historic cabins to be retained as studio and guest areas. The owners wanted to improve access to he hillside areas so we added a hillivator inclined elevator. This project was designed while I was the Senior Design Associate at Polsky Architects in Larkspur, CA

Our clients were relocating from the upper peninsula to the lower peninsula and wanted to design a retirement home on their Lake Michigan property. The topography of their lot allowed for a walk out basement which is practically unheard of with how close they are to the water. Their view is fantastic, and the goal was of course to take advantage of the view from all three levels. The positioning of the windows on the main and upper levels is such that you feel as if you are on a boat, water as far as the eye can see. They were striving for a Hamptons / Coastal, casual, architectural style. The finished product is just over 6,200 square feet and includes 2 master suites, 2 guest bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, sunroom, home bar, home gym, dedicated seasonal gear / equipment storage, table tennis game room, sauna, and bonus room above the attached garage. All the exterior finishes are low maintenance, vinyl, and composite materials to withstand the blowing sands from the Lake Michigan shoreline.
