Torch Lake Home

This challenging Critical Dunes home site required steel sheet piling driven 10 to 12 feet down to protect the sand dunes surrounding this beautiful architectural masterpiece. A cantilevered steel structure sits over the foundation to maximize floor space and provide three stories of living area. A massive kitchen blends seamlessly into the living room accented by a cathedral height ceiling and fireplace. Beyond the west-facing glass wall and deck, a bridge walkway extends to a dune and the beach beyond. The railings are constructed of ½” tempered glass and anodized steel, providing the desired maximum safety without obscuring views. The varying sizes of cut stones that adorn the foundation, called Perma Mountain Stone, create a stunning design effect rarely encountered in this area. Exterior siding of cypress wood is used throughout to naturally repel insects.

What Our Clients Are Saying

We could go on and on about how happy we are in our new home… we think the truth really comes out when we ask ourselves almost every day, “are we still on vacation?"

Our building experience with Paul Maurer was very positive. The quality of their work was outstanding. Our home is in a brutal environment with lots of sand and wind. We needed a home that was solidly built and we feel that we have it.
