The dwelling is arranged for visitors to enter the house from the symmetrical entrance courtyard to the main entertainment space, which is located in the center of the building and contains an open plan kitchen, living room and dining room. at the end of this space, A black steel fireplace stares into the room surrounded by deep sofas. Birdseye collaborated with interior designer Brooke Michelsen.
Three bedrooms are located In the wing closest to the lake, to give residents the best view of the water. The third wing contains a garage and a small library. Another detached garage is steps away and is connected to the house by a covered driveway which is an extension of the breezeway.
