The Painters' Lake House is located in the tranquil landscape of Latvia and demonstrates an effective blend of sustainability and modern living. Designed to serve two families, the residence promotes a sense of community while ensuring privacy. The design concept focuses on harmonizing the building with nature, inviting the outside in and creating a welcoming atmosphere.

Spatial Organization

The layout of the Painters' Lake House is thoughtfully divided into two living areas. Each family has its own private spaces, which include separate bedrooms and bathrooms. Shared communal areas such as the kitchen, living room, and dining space are situated on the first floor to encourage interaction. A central terrace connects both sides, serving as a bridge for family gatherings and a place to enjoy the outdoors together.

Natural Light and Views

Large windows feature prominently in the design, especially on the north side of the house. This choice allows abundant natural light to flood the living spaces and offers stunning views of the nearby lake. The emphasis on light not only brightens the interior but also helps establish a connection between the inside of the house and the peaceful surroundings outside.

Workshop Integration

A key aspect of the design is the location of the painter's workshop. Set between the living areas and the lake, it is designed as a broad, open space with extensive glass walls. The workshop benefits from ample light, creating a vibrant environment suitable for artistic activities. This layout encourages creativity and provides an inspiring workspace for its occupants.

Material Selection

The construction of the Painters' Lake House incorporates carefully chosen materials that enhance both function and aesthetics. Elements include wood slat assemblies, metal roofing, and aluminium clips, all of which contribute to the building’s durability. Cellulose insulation is used for energy efficiency, while oak engineered flooring adds warmth and comfort to the interior spaces.

The practical placement of the storage building further supports the overall design. Positioned to minimize disruption to living areas, it ensures easy access without disturbing the calm environment of the residence. This thoughtful integration highlights how functional needs can coexist with the tranquil living experience offered by the Painters' Lake House.
