The house by the lake

Abstract

The paper describes the proposed building of an Ecohouse located alongside a small lake and against a steep slope. Managed woodland surrounds the site, which is accessed by existing driveways. The design of the landscape accepts the land in this existing state and does not propose any formal area requiring additional work. The whole design is in harmony with its surroundings. The philosophy of the design is to produce a low energy eco-friendly house which is as environmentally aware as it is architecturally distinguished. As such, it will serve as an example for the country house of the 21st century.
