The Lakeside Residence

A house drawn around quiet material.

A waterfront home reconsidered from the ground up. Our clients — a family of five who had spent two decades in the home — asked us to honour the bones of the architecture while bringing the interiors into a quieter, more restrained register.

The kitchen, once partitioned and dim, became the heart of the residence: a single, generous room anchored by a five-metre island in honed Calacatta and a wall of rift-cut white oak millwork. Every joinery detail was drawn full-scale before being prototyped in our shop.
