The Lakeside Home reflects its owner's love for the outdoors and passion for life on the water. Houses by the lake are designed to maximize the flow of air, the use of sunlight, and the views
of the landscape. The homes on the Great Lakes reflect the fascinating architectural tradition of the area. Centuries of agricultural and industrial utility have led the region to readily
accept modernism and a "form follows function" methodology. Houses acknowledge this history with their experimentation with material, their economy of design, and their dependence on the nearby
lakes. Residences are designed to be practical-many can "close up" during adventures in the out-of-doors and travels-and they exhibit an open-minded style in which to live. Great Lakes houses
are modern yet provide comfort for life here.
By setting twenty-seven homes into the context of this unique geological area, as well as capturing the universal desire to live on the water, the book will speak to water-side homeowners
everywhere, as well as residents of the seven U.S. states and two Canadian provinces that border the Great Lakes. With more than 250 images, Lakeside Living is a book for all those who yearn
for a life at the water's edge.
