The Lake House – a Modern Design with a Pan Integration within Nature
The Lake House is designed by McClellan Architects, is sited on a very steep waterfront lot, with drive access limited to the very top of the site. The landscape surrounding is very beautiful, full of green trees and offering a splendid view towards the lake.
The home is conceived as a whole, unifying the interior with the exterior background, expressing a dichotomy between in and out. With an ample terrace, hosting comfortable chairs and a barbeque, allowing guests to admire the splendid view, the house invites you inside the spacious living space, a open space containing the living, the dining and the kitchen. Woof is the main material used to give warmth to the entire house. Even the ceilings are dressed in wood, draping the house in a nice feeling of coziness. Wood combines with steel, offering a rhythmic structure of the stacked building masses. A blackened-steel stairway is placed against a Venetian plaster feature wall. Spot lights illuminate the wooden ceiling of the kitchen, which is well equipped and intimate, full of good taste.
The dinner table is placed by the large window, in order to allow family to admire the lake. In the living room, cozy and elegant sofa assures the intimacy by the pleasant fireplace, stimulating you to dream and relax, watching the nice view from outside. Rather than bring the outside in, Lake House brings the inside out.
