Aimed for curb appeal on and off shore, a former pondside cottage was transformed into a two-story relaxation retreat. Bound to the 1960's concrete foundation, in order to add livable square footage to this property, the design cantilevered the residence on the north and south elevations by two feet. Located on Big Island Pond, the homeowners wanted all floors of the new residence to have the most advantageous views of the lake which was attained with using a scissor truss on the second floor allowing for large windows and a triple slider in the open concept kitchen and living room that allows one to walk out on to a new deck overlooking the lake.
