Chateau on the Lake

This home is a classic French Chateau revealing a sophisticated and modern sensibility with an artisanal underpinning. It makes strong connections with the landscape.

The Chateau sits on a priceless parcel of land with a romantic scene of old willows and manicured paths that overlook the lake. At just over 5,000 square feet it has a just-right feeling of grand that equally connects with the human element.

It has moments of fascination and moments of deeply cocooned calm. There’s an alluring transition from light to dark that which draws one in and through with absolute wonder. It’s an experience.

An integral part of the Chateau’s beautiful unfolding is the two-story leaded glass curtain wall. It’s an architectural surprise that fills the first-impressions space with filtered light from large window walls beyond. This holistic feature holds an enticing dimension that can be enjoyed from several vantage points, including the haven spaces that share the structure. There is a sense of intrigue for what lies beyond.

The design vision was rooted in the spirit of the landscape the client fell in love with before purchasing the property; a place of historical romance with old willow trees and meandering paths. That spirit found its way into every detail: in the progression of light that would guide, dance on shiny surfaces, and settle into the niches; in each carefully chosen art piece. And the willows themselves turned to sculpture.
