Florida Lodge

​

The lake house was designed to room and board environmental scientists. The concept of the design was oriented to facilitate a workable space that operates an open laboratory, living quarters, basic kitchen, living room, and easy access to the lake. The design of the house utilizes the natural surroundings by incorporating local building materials. An open concept design allows for the lake house to appropriately invite natural light into the facility. The final product should be self sustainable and able to adapt to the eco-friendly environment of the lake.

The section cut helps reveal the many level changes within the design. much like the receding shoreline of the river bed, interior levels of the lake house continues this same gesture. The changes in level help partition the rooms in the house without the use of walls. having specific level changes allow desired functionality to certain areas of the house. having better access from the laboratory to the lake or having the bedrooms elevated for better lighting during the day.
