Elegant lakeside retreat featuring open plan living, natural materials, and stunning views while ensuring privacy from the street.

The design approach to this lakeside property was to create a functional and elegant home, incorporating carefully considered open plan living with strong links to Outdoor Living areas and take advantage of magnificent views over the lake while maintaining privacy from the street.

The choice and mix of exterior materials and colour were chosen to complement each other and give the house a sense of grounding. The home uses a pallet of natural materials like schist to the feature gable ends, cedar accents and shingle roof tiles. The plaster cladding helps give a contrast to the adjacent materials and makes this house grand while still inviting.

“We really enjoyed our house planning experience with Garry and his team, it was a process that had Garry understanding exactly what we wanted for the house and his ideas were spot on. This is the first time we have built a house and Garry's meticulous planning made it a fun and enjoyable process, with his guidance and vision we feel we are now living in the perfect house. The house sits beautifully on our section and makes the most of the views and the sun and it is a fantastic home to be bringing up our family in.”
