Lake Eunice, MN · Layered living spaces and a broad lakeside deck on Lake Eunice.
The project
Room to gather. Room to look out.
On Lake Eunice, The Highwater House connects everyday rooms with an expansive lakeside setting. The layered exterior opens to an elevated deck, with a walkout lower level meeting the lawn below.
Inside, warm wood cabinetry and trim give the home a consistent material language. A generous kitchen island anchors the shared living area, while blue tile and a fireplace wall bring color to the gathering spaces. An entry-level office, private bedrooms and a separate lower-level lounge give different activities their own place within the home.
