Text description provided by the architects. The eucalypt lined amphitheater setting and a lake at the lowest point of the site mimicking a stage, provided inspiration for the Lake House. Secluded and private, the optimal positioning of the house was at the lake’s edge, with a northern orientation. Responding to the site and views, the house design was conceptualized as two separate wings positioned along the contours, connected with an entry verandah that continues through to the Living Wing to form a deck. From inside the house, windows frame a landscape of intense beauty and serenity. The two wings have a close connection with the ground, providing easy access to the outside.
