Lake Geneva House, USA
This project involved a significant addition and renovation to a 4-bedroom home originally completed in 2005. After the original client passed ownership on to his daughter and son-in-law, the residence underwent a transformation that not only expanded its capacity but also redefined its connection to the natural surroundings. The redesign added 7 new bedrooms, additional living and dining spaces, a pool and hot tub, a pool house office outbuilding, and extensive outdoor entertaining areas.
The primary goal of the renovation was to maintain a seamless flow between the interior and exterior spaces. By prioritizing both visual and physical access to nature, the design fosters a continuous interaction between the home and its surroundings. Large expanses of glass, open spaces, and the strategic use of natural materials ensure transparency and communication between the indoors and the outdoors, creating a living environment that harmonizes with its natural setting.
A standout feature of the project is the stair hall, encased in a transparent glass box with floating wood treads and glass railings. This modern design not only facilitates movement between the home’s levels but also serves as a central focal point, emphasizing the interconnectedness of the living spaces while offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. It brings a sense of openness and lightness to the heart of the home, blending contemporary aesthetics with nature.
The collaboration with landscape and interior design partners further enhanced the connection between the home’s interior and the landscape. Glass corridors link several large pavilions situated within the property, allowing the homeowners to feel constantly connected to different elements of the landscape, both near and far. Moving through the house, residents experience an ever-present dialogue between architecture and nature, offering a harmonious and tranquil living experience within a beautifully integrated environment.
