"The single-story concept was in response to the scale of the surrounding context. An existing adjacent farm includes a large timber frame gambrel barn and gable-roofed chicken coop. The repetition of detail, window type, and size, rafter tails, standing seam roofing, black stained vertical cedar siding, and single-story gables with identical pitches all contribute to the quiet pastoral aesthetic, harmonious with the landscape. Homestead reflects the typical farmyard composition of the agrarian typology.
The four gable structures of Homestead are linked with a perpendicular circulation gable. This shared corridor is on the axis with the mouth of the lake cove and extends as a path to the future cabin. Programmatically, garages are located westerly, adjacent to the entry and road. Living and sleeping spaces are located closer to the lake. This concept created outdoor spaces that are specific to the function of each gable. The auto court, entry, outdoor living terrace, and extended meadow reflect this relationship."
