Given conditions
The advantage of the lake-facing living room needed to remain clear while storage, kitchen and domestic lines were simplified and damaged areas regained their basic performance.

PROJECT STORY
The window opening towards the lake remains the home's strongest scene.
A bright base, low-toned stone and warm timber storage allow light and the lake view to remain central, carrying a clear order from the entrance through the kitchen, dressing room and bathrooms.
DESIGN RESPONSE
Design decision
We reduced visual obstruction and used a continuous light palette. Deep storage and illuminated timber niches organise the entrance and kitchen, alongside necessary waterproofing and insulation repairs.
Completed change
Light and landscape are seen first from the living room, while storage and services become progressively quieter towards the interior of the home.
