Situated on the point of a new 100-acre lake, the Gielow Residence is designed to entertain. A heavy-timber porte-cochere leads to the foyer which provides a vista of the lake beyond the main living area.

Our Client wished to renovate the existing first floor and add a Sunroom so that the entire area would function as a cohesive entertainment space.
