This home in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, employs an inventive shingle style architecture with a relaxed touch. The crowning feature is the elongated, open concept veranda, which offers “shelter and shade while not denying a single speck of pleasure from the great outdoors.”
The strength of a building lies in its foundation, and the style of a foundation can always be traced back to its architecture. When designing a home to have a farmhouse mood, architect Wade Weissmann prioritizes architectural characteristics that favor practicality, natural materials and elegant simplicity. In his new book Heirloom Houses: The Architecture of Wade Weissman, author Steven Stolman catalogs the principles at work in Wade’s diverse architectural portfolio.
Blending various styles of décor and architecture creates distinctive homes. This room establishes an interaction between the sleekness of the chrome trunk and the rustic feel of the blue dresser.
