Situated on a rolling site overlooking Lake Minnetonka, the Linden Road Residence was sited to take advantage of expansive views of Lower Lake Minnetonka, Big Island, and Downtown Wayzata beyond, while also respecting the natural characteristics of the property. Architecture and landscaping were positioned on the site to frame views of the lake while directing the visitor through a series of terraced spaces as the site slopes towards the lake. Terraced walls create elevated platforms for the building, while the pool and lakeside terraces allow the house and landscape to merge with the site. Retaining walls and terraced areas are extensions of the architecture, extending the building out into the landscape.
