Located in a typical small Spring Lake lot of 50’ x 150’. The client wished to maximize the size of the summer cottage to accommodate his children and grandchildren then numbering a TOTAL OF 12. The requirements for 5 bedrooms called for the development of a third floor as well as recreadtional areas on the basement level. The site was very restrictive. The challenge was to achieve the requisite square footage while maintaining the cottage shingle style appropriate for the shore village location. Also, the ground water levels were extremely variable. We have chosen a commercial waterproofing system known in the industry as Bentonite, which allowed for the basement to be fully secured and habitable through the year.
