Lodge by the Lake

The client wishes this to be a place of ultimate retreat for himself and his wife. They wish this to be casual, informal, reflecting their lifestyle, a place of sanctuary and also a place where they can entertain family and friends, and enjoy the natural beauty of the site.

Site Considerations

The site is located on a hill overlooking an inland lake.

Design and orientation of the building as well as each individual rooms within take into account site specific considerations such as:

- maximizing solar orientation,

- lake views,

- visual and acoustic privacy,

- respecting the natural sloping terrain and

- shaping the driveway approach around a pair of existing trees.

 

Lodge by the Lake - Prelim Site Plan

Design

Design revolves around a cross gabled, traditionally crafted mortise and tenon timber-frame structure.

Layout, design and architectural considerations are carefully worked out to incorporate client's functional needs, consideration of their lifestyle and focus on the timber-frame structure as part of the architectural expression.

Design is shaped by client's wish to have a casual, relaxing environment that celebrates the site and its particular lake views and its distinctive timber-frame structure:

- a Central Gathering Room open to the Dining area and Kitchen - a reflection of the client's informal lifestyle that still allows for entertaining, with a visual focus towards the lake and maximising winter sun exposure.

- spiral stairs leading up to a widow's walk/ viewing gallery.

- rooms and spaces reflecting the timberframe character of the structure.
