The architecture

Built to be looked through.

Two‑story walls of glass face the lake on one elevation and the entry on the other, so the volume reads as light from either approach. At dusk the interior becomes the elevation.

Everything around that glass is deliberately dark and quiet. Black lap siding and board‑and‑batten sit under an asymmetric shed roofline, with a standing‑seam metal canopy carried on timber posts. Inside, the vault is held by heavy dark timber beams, the fireplace is dry‑stacked stone under a heavy timber mantel, with the chimney above it wrapped in riveted blackened steel to the top of the vault, and the railings are black‑framed glass so nothing interrupts the view.

The shell is structural insulated panel, not stick framing — a continuous insulating core bonded between structural skins, with none of the thermal bridging and gaps a framed wall carries. It is the reason a house that is mostly glass still holds its temperature through a Minnesota January. The windows are Pella 250 Series in black, the front door a Pella Reserve, and the kitchen and bath cabinetry is custom work by Fremling. Radon mitigation was built into the slab from the start rather than added afterwards.

The site

A peninsula, and the length of the lake.

The lot sits 62 feet above the water on Hunters Point, the peninsula that separates Wilson Bay from the main body of Gull Lake.

The elevation is the reason for the glass. The view is panoramic and it runs the length of the lake — the north and south ends both, not a single bay. Roughly 100 feet of frontage on 0.57 of an acre, near the end of a cul‑de‑sac, so the only traffic is people who live here.
