Description

Window on the Lake presents a carefully curated selection of contemporary homes built along the shores of lakes in different parts of the world. Curated by Eva Minguet, the book explores how architecture can take full advantage of its unique relationship with water to create light-filled spaces that open to the landscape and foster a deep connection with nature.

The featured projects, designed by Atelier Boom-Town, Coryn Kempster and Julia Jamrozik, MU Architecture, YH2 Architecture,Anik Péloquin Architecte, ACDF Architecture, FX Studio by Clairoux, Salmela Architects,Lund + Slaatto Architects, and Andersson-Wise, showcase a wide range of architectural solutions adapted to diverse settings, climates, and ways of living.

Through stunning photography, architectural drawings, and insightful project descriptions, the book demonstrates how orientation, expansive glazing, and thoughtful spatial design allow the lake to become an integral part of everyday living. Each project transforms the view into a defining architectural feature, creating a seamless connection between the interior spaces and the surrounding landscape.

More than a collection of houses, Window on the Lake is a source of inspiration for architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and students interested in contemporary residential architecture, homes designed for natural settings, and the seamless integration of architecture and landscape.

The concept behind Window on the Lake defines the essence of every project featured in this volume: homes designed to embrace lake views as an essential part of the architectural experience. Rather than serving as a backdrop, the landscape shapes every aspect of the design—from the home's placement and spatial organization to the orientation, window openings, and the way natural light enters the interior.

Each residence offers a unique interpretation of this relationship with its surroundings, demonstrating how windows, terraces, and open living spaces become points of connection between architecture and nature. The result is a remarkable collection of projects in which the lake is not merely a scenic view but an integral component of the architectural design.

Curated by Eva Minguet, this volume offers an inspiring perspective on contemporary residential architecture and the power of design to make the surrounding landscape an inseparable part of the home.
