Concept

Architecture in dialogue with the lake

The site falls gently toward the water through old oaks. We placed two long volumes along the contour lines, between the trees, so every room faces the lake and no tree had to go. Deep roofs shade the glass in July and let the low sun in during winter.

Calm, open and green

  1. 01

    Planting inside continues the oaks outside; every room keeps a view of green.

  2. 02

    Low, deep sofas face the glass wall and the lake beyond it.

  3. 03

    One palette inside and out: oak, stone and lime plaster.
