The Lake House is a self-confident contemporary house in an outstanding landscape that does not draw attention to itself. It is nestled into the beautiful native bush, hovering amongst the trees and between the rocks with water flowing around it.

Conceived as two separate pavilions. The houses have distinctive folded plate sculpted roofs that reflect the surrounding mountain landscape. The structure is glue laminated timber beams with stone, concrete block, plywood and a range of timbers. All expressed as natural materials and providing the finished aesthetic.

This is an exquisite house that is built with the precision of a fine piece of furniture. A timeless house that will provide family enjoyment for many years to come.
