Unattached Garage on Clear Lake

Most would agree that it is somewhat unusual to use adjectives such as beautiful or gorgeous while describing a stand-alone garage. We do feel however, that the use of those words is appropriate in the description of this garage on Clear Lake. Lynn, with much input from the owner, designed this building to meet the very stringent guidelines specified in the town's ordinances. Complying with the setback standards influenced the design in a manner that created a longer and less square garage than is typical for most lake accessory buildings. The height restrictions as well, created a design challenge in allowing for maximum additional storage options on the 2nd level. This obstacle was overcome with the smart use of dormers in strategic locations. The main level is divided in a way that allows for flexibility in how the space is used.

Adams Lake Luxury Vacation Home

Designed by Lynn Delagrange, this home provides 3,085 sq. ft. of living area on the two main floors and an office which is located on the upper half-story. The home has 1,367 sq. ft. of finished area in the walk-out basement as well. The design of this home satisfies the typical priorities of lake property owners with plenty of sleeping areas - 5 bedrooms plus a bunk room that sleeps six - and lots of baths - 4 full baths, including two Jack & Jill baths and a powder room. Three separate decks and a lake level patio provide plenty of options for outdoor entertaining or to simply enjoy the spectacular view of the lake.  An unattached 26' x 40' garage for boat and lake-toy storage accompanies this home directly across the street. We are as proud of this home as the owner's seem to be and think it serves [...]

Country Ranch Home

Using our St. Andrews plan as a template, Lynn designed this home with an open angular stair case to the finished basement under the bay window. Having no need for a formal dining room, the owner's approved using that area in the plans for this unique stairway. A secondary service stairway provides direct access from the side-loading 3-car garage to the basement. The central portion of this split bedroom design is an open kitchen, nook and great room area. The owner had significant input into the design of the stunningly beautiful brick and raised-paneled fireplace facade which serves as the focal point for this area. The fireplace extends from the hearth to the cathedral ceiling in the great room and contributes to the warmth and comfort one feels in this lovely home.
