The Design

About Lakeside Living Maison Et Jardin

L'architecture est d'exprimer un rapport à la nature dans lequel la maison fait partie de l'environnement naturel - recréant un bord de lac avec des interventions discrètes et une simple coque en bois posée soigneusement sur le paysage servant de refuge. Les ombres claires des arbres existants pénètrent dans l'espace. L'herbe semble s'étendre à l'intérieur de la maison. Le but de ce projet était de créer une architecture organique en exprimant le caractère du site, l'articulation de l'espace et de la matière, la conception lumineuse et la qualité contrastée de l'espace privé et ouvert.

Unique Properties
A Summerhouse with garage, a boathouse and a Sauna perfectly integrated in to the lake shore. Natural aging materials support the concept 'Gesamtkunstwerk', where the Architecture, Garden and Interior spaces are in perfect harmony. The building is composed of a concrete body and a crafted wooden shell with a light axis running through it ending in a pier at the lake. The site was re naturalized with grasses. Wooden walkways lead to a boathouse and a generous Terrace overlooking the lake.
Dimensions & Packaging
Lake site dimension- 6.000 sqm, 50m shore an 2000 sqm wet meadow had been renaturated by cutting off the drainage system.

Production Technology
The lake side was re naturalized with grasses. Wooden walkways lead to a boathouse and a generous Terrace overlooking the lake.
Design Challenge
The lake clay was the most difficult part for constructing of the boat house and foundation of the main house.
Research
We tried to reinterprete the athmosphere of the surrounding wetland area which is famous for its original beauty. It means only grasses, lillys and Filipendula ulmaria as mass plantation
Inspiration
The dream of the owners was to build a house onto the narrow lake site which has a close connection to nature combined with a Japanese atmosphere. The Japanese culture reflects a feeling of sophistication, perfection in detailing, open flowing spaces and the accommodation of changing seasons. The aim of the architect was to design a Gesamtkunstwerk where the Architecture is to express a strong relationship to nature in which the house is part of the natural environment.
Project Duration
2011 - 2013, lake Starnberg, Bavaria, Germany
Operation Flow
It is a low maintenance, natural hideaway for an old couple.
