In the design phase, you clearly captured our objectives in both floor plan and aesthetics and realized them in the structure. And you did this within the difficult constraints placed on lakefront houses by TRPA. Many people comment that our house is the most aesthetically pleasing property on Edgewater. It fits into the environment gracefully and is not overbearing.
Visitors are particularly impressed with the vista upon entering the house, and the comfort of the great room. In addition, there are multiple spacious private areas including the flex room with its own sitting area and access to the outside and the entire lower floor with its family room and two bedrooms including baths and view of the lake.
In summary, it's a job well done, we’re very pleased with your design of the house, and MWA was a pleasure to work with!! And we'd use you again without hesitation.
