Wernerfield Architects in collaboration with Emily Summers Design has created this lake house retreat that’s nestled on a secluded, wooded seven-acre site on Cedar Creek Lake, Texas. The scope of this project involves the creation of the main home, a guest pavilion, and a storage barn. Elements such as a sunken courtyard and a bocce ball court are thoughtfully weaved into the landscape.
On the exterior facade of this low-lying dwelling is a combination of board-formed concrete with a teak front door, and weathered metal. Characterized by clean lines and natural materials, this 4,690-square-foot private oasis embraces its natural surroundings while complimenting the home’s modernist, open-plan architectural spaces.
