NATURE EMBRACED

Success is in the details!

The owner’s attention to detail and dedication to the

principles of green design practices made this project an amazing success. Designed around the U.S. Green Building Council, LEED Platinum standards, it’s successes go beyond typical living and aesthetics and include the process and the performance. The post occupancy measured energy score yielded a HERS of 38, which represents a home built 60% better that the average. This translates into lower energy cost, a smaller carbon footprint, and greater comfort. Features of the home that help achieve this goal are a well built tight exterior envelope, spray foam isynene insulation, geothermal climate control system with energy recovery unit, and energy efficient LED lighting. The project also diverted over 90% of it’s construction waste with only one 30 yard dumpster being sent to the landfill. This was due in large part to the homeowner’s extreme diligence in seeking out recycling sources for material and in some cases personal hauling material to these sources.

This home is just steps away from Culver, Indiana’s quaint downtown. A meal at the local favorite, CafÊ Max, is at your fingertips.

Located on the west shore line of Lake Maxinkuckee, pano-

ramic windows provide an uninterrupted view of the Culver Academy hillside and the East Shore. The plan is centered around a massive stone masonry heater (fire place) that also includes a wood burning pizza oven on the kitchen facing side. The Kitchen features a double island that provides the ultimate communal kitchen allowing the party to be in the kitchen without disrupting the food preparation. A Large screen porch provides ample space for lounging, eating, and relaxing with the Lake

Breeze.

Bonus room over the garage offers an alternative en-

tertainment space for the teenagers. The master bedroom takes the prime real-estate on the second floor on the lake side with three walls of windows and an outdoor lake facing balcony. Large lake side deck reaches out to lake with stone piers and a cable rail that minimizes obstruction of the panoramic view.

LAKESIDE LIVING

Located on the south shore of Lake Maxinkuckee this lake home design reaches out to the lake by utilizing an existing boat house structure that is grandfathered with a reduced lake set back. The new house connects to the existing boat house and lake with a series of patios and decks that offer the ultimate Lake Side out-

door and indoor living space. Covered decks and patios offer areas where you can get shelter from the hot sun but still enjoy the fresh lake air. Glass is the material of choice with no exception. The lake side elevation utilizes large areas of glass to capture daylight and every view.

EAGLE’S PERCH ON LAKE Casual style living is reinforced with the Owner’s interior finish selections, bright color palettes and the design of custom millwork pieces and treatments throughout the home.

The floor plan encourages family togetherness with the open planning of the main level living / dining / kitchen areas in addition to the open communication to the second floor loft, which has a short overlook to the open plan below and views out across Lake Maxincuckee. The children’s bedrooms all open to this study loft which allows for, and encourages interaction amongst the siblings.

The window placement takes full advantage of the lake views and fills each room and space with an abundance of daylight, cross views and air flow ventilation throughout the house. The oversized fireplace in the first floor living space becomes the cozy gathering spot for this family group as the winds and snow move across the lake on those cold winter days.

The use of natural materials links this lake home to its surroundings. The nonimposing street-side view suggest a quiet ranch style living, which explodes to the lakeside with wide open, panoramic views out onto Lake Maxincuckee. The main level, second floor and lower walkout look out over the blue waters from the structure’s perch, setting atop an enhanced boulder bluff. The design offers several options for outdoor enjoyment with a patio terrace just above water level, or at the walkout patio laid with hand-chiselled blue stone slabs, or the main level deck areas.

Screen porches further encourage the Owners with their three children to enjoy the fresh outdoor air of this lakeside setting.
