CITY LAKE HOME

Private Residence, United States

An atypical building site provided the challenge for this city lake home. Finding the lake view, blocking sightlines to traffic, and creating privacy all were accomplished by a design for an urban tree house- a raised living area tucked into the surrounding canopy with a garage tucked underneath. Simple geometric forms used expressively create both a sense of connection and retreat.
