Marquand Residence

Rice Lake, Wisconsin

Resting on a narrow strip between the Red Cedar River and Rice Lake, the Marquand cottage offers a unique living experience with dual, contrasting views—an elevated lake vista in one direction and a picturesque view down the river in the other. The lower level houses an artist's studio, home theater, and guest bedroom suite. Constructed of cedar and local red granite, the house features custom horizontal siding boards that emphasize linear texture and create dramatic shadow lines, contrasting beautifully with the stone walls. These materials flow seamlessly from exterior to interior, creating a cohesive design that allows the home to sit beautifully with its stunning natural surroundings.
