Nestled along the edge of the lake, this home was envisioned as a serene retreat, where nature is experienced at all times. To preserve that tranquility while offering protection from the realities of lakeside living — mosquitoes, passing showers, and the midday sun — motorized screens were seamlessly built into the walls and columns. Hidden when not in use, they provide discreet comfort without ever disturbing the view or the property’s elegance.

Embracing the spirit of open living, the design introduces a striking 30-foot opening that extends from the main living area onto the terrace, offering uninterrupted views of the lake. Here, the line between indoors and out dissolves, creating a seamless transition to outdoor living for relaxation, dining, and gathering. Whether within the home with the doors open or beneath the pergola, the lake remains the constant focal point—ever present, ever in view.

To preserve the timeless character of the setting, an integrated lighting fixture was chosen with care, soft, warm, and perfectly in tune with the home’s relaxed, yet elegant aesthetic. Evenings feel effortless, whether spent dining beneath the wood-lined canopy or listening to the calming sound of the water just steps away. Protected from bugs and weather, the space offers the best of both worlds: open-air living, wrapped in quiet comfort.
