This lake-front compound, with a 4,500-square-foot main house, 50-foot lap pool, an 1800-square-foot three-bedroom guest house, and a barn, is designed mainly for socializing, among growing family, friends, and associates. With those objectives in mind, informal living spaces are stressed. Each structure centers on a great room open to the northern water views and the southern sun and breezes. The structures combine modern design with the local gabled vernacular of cedar shingles and white-painted wood. Design & Photos: Murdock Young
