Project overview
This lake house sits on a point with water on three sides, so every main room was planned around the view. Tall sliding doors open the great room straight onto the lake, and a covered walk ties the house to its guest wing.
The palette is dark and quiet so the water does the talking: stained wood walls and ceilings, slate floors, stacked stone, and a few bright moments in brass and veined marble. A sauna, a tiled outdoor shower and a bar make it a place to stay all weekend.
