This large executive home sits upon a pie-shaped lot high above Lake Monona.

Unite the home with the street and the lake gracefully, while creating privacy and functional elegance for living and entertaining.



A little used
garage is still
accessible with
grass planted in
protective Turfstone™,
an openwork concrete product that
maintains a grassy appearance while
allowing heavy vehicle use without
damage to the lawn.
The entrance from the street draws the visitor to the front door through the use of a variety
of stone, concrete, and pavers. Made of durable tumbled concrete designed to look like bricks,
the pavers curve through the concrete drive leading the eye to an attractive entry area.


The stone and paver patio transitions
from the upper lake view deck to the
landing leading to the lake.
A hot tub, sunken into the slope, open trellis, and stone planters add warmth and
beauty to the functionality of the space. The end result is a low maintenance
living space that makes the most of the steep slope to enhance the beauty of
lake side living and entertaining.


The lakeside of the property drops 30 feet from patio
to the shore. Wooden and stone steps traverse the
steep slope and flow into a tapestry of easily maintained
creepers and shrubs along the way. A series of landings
seem to float above the slope, giving reason to pause and
take in the captivating lake view. At night, hundreds of
tiny lights add an enchanting glow.
