A House that Uncompromisingly Engages with the Elements of Nature | House by the Lake

This lakeside home in Potsdam is an impressive example of harmonious integration with the surrounding nature. With its airy and transparent structure, it rises above the ground supported by tree-like steel stilts, allowing unobstructed views of Lake Jungfernsee. The preservation of ancient trees and imperial terraces shapes the architectural concept, reflecting a commitment to sustainability and natural aesthetics. Its cozy interior is the heart of the home, where family life and connection with nature blend seamlessly. The house has been designed to adapt to life’s changes, offering the possibility of being divided into smaller units or even housing a shared community.

We achieved this with a combination of re-purposing the existing spaces and adding a small extension to the back and side. We added a new Kitchen, Bathroom, Laundry and Living space, all with a strong connection to the outdoors. We played with the ceiling forms to create spaces within the overall space, while soft natural light is introduced into the depths of the home with skylights. We also paid homage to the simple heritage details of the era by referencing the overall form and textures of the old Californian Bungalow.
