URBAN BEACH HOUSE

On the three urban sides, solid stone walls provide privacy and security. These visually free-standing walls are connected by glass corners and converge at the three-story lakefront wall, allowing for unobstructed views of the lake on all levels. Geothermal technology naturally heats and cools the home. An automated system controls lighting and sun shades, adjusting for heat gain and dimming. The green roof reduces heat gain and slows storm water run-off.
