Maris

Project Spotlight: Maris

Design confusion, permit roadblocks, and structural incompatibilities threatened to sink this client's lakefront dream after their initial concepts failed to harmonize modern aesthetics with waterfront engineering demands.


We stepped in with clarity and expertise, immediately recalibrating the vision to create a design that beautifully balanced open-concept desires with the technical requirements of lakeside construction.

Expert Solutions

While the original plans struggled to reconcile architectural aspirations with site realities, we developed a comprehensive approach that maximized views without compromising the structural integrity needed for high-wind exposure and challenging soil conditions.


Our refined floor plan transformed entertaining from an afterthought to a core function, with an oversized kitchen island, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and a central living space defined by clean geometry and perfect proportions.

Obstacle Breakthrough

Where others saw competing priorities between modern aesthetics and lakefront engineering requirements, we identified strategic design solutions that satisfied both demands without compromise.

Our comprehensive site assessment enabled us to create a home that embraces its environment while standing up to it—transforming what was considered an engineering challenge into an architectural opportunity that enhances the living experience.

Resource Mastery

In a project requiring both design sophistication and technical precision, we applied our integrated expertise to select materials offering both durability and low-maintenance elegance.

This balanced approach eliminated the common disconnects between aesthetics and practicality, maintaining design integrity while ensuring the home would withstand the demands of frequent entertaining and lakeside conditions.

Proven Success

Don't compromise your waterfront vision—our proven approach transformed this project from a collection of conflicting requirements into a cohesive modern home where clean lines, open living, and structural integrity work in perfect harmony.
