The Gables was born when a client of Visbeen Architects asked for something exceptional on a small but personally significant lakefront lot. Unique solutions were employed to achieve their objective, including a 10-foot-deep lower level. This feat of engineering required a custom pump system to keep lake water out of the house but also made room for a home theater, family rooms, extra bedrooms, and additional entertainment areas, which were finished beautifully by Vision Interiors.
