Our peripheral vision has a major role to play in our experience of space. Within an urban setting, our peripheral vision is limited to the tunnel-like vistas of the city's streets. In a natural setting, such as lake, our peripheral vision is stimulated by the openness our surroundings. The architecture of the Lake House attempts to intensify this condition - a meeting of sky, land and water - by drawing the periphery into the architecture.

The Lake house is made up of loosely arranged fragments; volumes that contain different functions, partially submerged below the surface of the water. The lake, becomes the connecting tissue between the volumes.
