Higgins Lake House and its understanding

Higgins Lake House is indeed very stylish with lake scenery. It is the main focus by locating the house in the center of the site and breaks the overall volume of the building down into four smaller volumes to better incorporate it into the surroundings. This can make a better view to the lake and surrounding forest and allows amounts of light and air into every room. Inside is accomplished with living quarters and master suite, the remaining bedrooms, the living quarters with a large expanse of glass facing the lake, and a large deck on the lake side of the house.

A glance review of Higgins Lake House

“According to archdaily.com, many families in Michigan share a tradition of spending weekends and vacations in cottages adjacent to the state’s collection of lakes. Higgins Lake is considered one of the most spectacular of the inland lakes and the empty-nester’s who commissioned this cottage wanted to be able to share this resource with their large family and many friends. In order to do so, they requested a large gathering area for cooking, eating and relaxing and space to sleep twenty adults.
Given the relatively large size of the cottage compared to the neighboring houses, the central challenge of this project is fitting a large building onto a narrow site without overwhelming the neighbors, but still taking advantage of the views. Our solution locates the house in the center of the site and breaks the overall volume of the building down into four smaller volumes to better incorporate it into the surroundings.
Additionally, this strategy brings substantial amounts of light and air into every room of the house while allowing for views out to the lake and surrounding forest. The living quarters and master suite are located above grade while the remaining bedrooms are partially buried to further diminish the apparent size of the house. The living quarters have a large expanse of glass facing the lake and additional glazing along the south side of the house to take advantage of passive heating in the winter. A large deck on the lake side of the house provides views while extending living space in the warmer months.
