Northport Point

Classic Lake Michigan Cottage

Inspired by iconic shingle-style beach houses, Northport Point combines classic architectural elements with modern details and amenities. Simple gable forms and expansive glass respond to the waterfront setting, creating a timeless retreat. Views from the entry extend directly to the water, highlighting an open vaulted great room, while an upper-level catwalk connects quieter private spaces above. A screened porch creates a comfortable space to gather, while a covered patio and outdoor kitchen support outdoor entertaining. Below, a beach patio offers a relaxed place for lounging and enjoying the surrounding waterfront views.

Through-View

The plan is organized around a simple, driving idea: maintaining a clear connection between arrival, gathering, and the water. A subtle level change between the entry and great room creates an uninterrupted view through the center of the home. Around that core, supporting spaces are arranged to preserve the openness while giving the house a comfortable rhythm for daily use.
