This luxury lake house designed by the architects at Bercy Chen Studio sits on a peninsula fronting Lake Austin. Apart from its spectacular surroundings, this exotic house boasts a unique nature-infused appeal that connects contemporary architecture to its environment. Expansive windows welcome the wonderful views in, but this lovely lakeside setting is enjoyed twofold form the home’s outdoor living areas – the plain view, and from the home’s windows and doors of reflective acrylic that mirrors the trees and water. A glass solarium echoes the roofline of the house, and is rotated 20 degrees from the main structure, creating a nook for a triangular lounge pool that abuts the house, and a lap pool which extends to the boathouse. Both inside and outside the house, rich Massaranduba Brazilian hardwood gives it a luxury look while maintaining the home’s earthy appeal. A Second-storey patio boasts a lush garden with a walkout from inside. Bercy Chen Studio
