Big Lake Residence
Perched on the shores of Big Lake this single family residence is just minutes away from Peggy’s Cove. Designed for a growing family that loves to get outdoors, the Big Lake Residence is a response to their need to connect with both the lake and surrounding nature.
An 8′ tall and 16′ wide sliding door in the great room creates a dynamic indoor/outdoor kitchen as fun and joyful as the residents. This beautifully day-lit space is mission control for the family and frames an incredible view of the sunset.
With a high-performance envelope and passive solar design the house takes advantage of the free solar heat offered by Big Lake’s southern exposure.
