Lake House, Texas
Flowing to the Lake
Location: Dallas, Texas
Status: Tender
Our clients bought an extraordinary plot on Star Harbor Marina, Texas, with the ambition to build a lakehouse that maximises the stunning views out across the lake.
3|10 Studio attended the first site visit, last August 2018 and have since developed the concept proposals and materiality.
There are a number of ideas that were key to the development of the proposed design, these are:
• Creating a journey.
• Preserving the existing trees.
• Exploiting the fall of the site.
• Revealing the lake slowly through glimpses before the big reveal when the front door opens.
• Creating a long house for a long site.
• Using a series of long, parallel walls running in the direction of the site to direct attention towards the water and enhance the awareness of the lake throughout the house.
• Integrating the design of the landscaping, pool, pontoon and the house so they become indistinguishable from one another.
• Reducing awareness of cars and enhancing awareness of the house, the lake and the landscape.
Concept proposal
Creating a fluid journey from Sundown trail to Cedar Creek Lake with a house in the middle.
Next Steps
Detailed design underway for contractor proposals and review of construction costs.
