LAKE HOUSE
This cabin and guesthouse are designed to occupy a narrow lakefront lot on Sebago Lake.
This particular lot has a thin finger of shoreline that projects out into water; a wonderful feature for taking advantage of all the water activities that the lake has to offer.
A unique drawback of this slender projecting shoreline is that the high-water setbacks mandated by shoreland zoning resulted in an even more slender buildable footprint.
The design challenge for this family retreat was to maximize the volume of living space while optimizing the view corridors and lake access. The final massing and interior layout provides double-height common areas that support seasonal activities and large family gatherings. There are also ample nooks, alcoves, and lofted walkways for individual enjoyment and quieter moments.
