The Convergence Home

We’ve had the pleasure of working with this homeowner for years, completing their main home, lakehouse, and multiple projects along the way. For this most recent undertaking, the family faced a challenge: limited space in their home. The solution was unconventional — we joined a newly built home to a previously purchased guest house on the adjacent lot, creating a single, cohesive residence.

This was a first for us, and such projects are rarely attempted, but we embraced the challenge. The primary hurdle was the 24-inch difference in floor heights between the two structures. To create a seamless connection, we established the addition at the level of the new home, carefully integrating both spaces.

The result is more than just the combination of two houses — it’s a fully realized, unified home. The family now enjoys ample space for entertaining, daily living, and memorable moments by the lake with friends and loved ones.
