We've designed many waterfront homes and cottages over the years, and capturing the view is a key element of each design. It's all about bringing the outside beauty into the space with large windows and open spaces while designing the roofline, window placement and orientation of the home to minimize direct sun in the summer and capture as much light as possible during the winter. Enjoy a few of our clients' gorgeous views! Do you have a beautiful view in need of a beautiful home? Winter, Summer, Homes
