Lakeside and Riverside Houses


I came across this photo in a copy of Conde Nast Traveller magazine while having my haircut. It's uncanny how close in concept it is to Vista del Largo/Rancho Relaxo; two, L-shaped wings framing a courtyard overlooking a valley ... and the arched double-windows etc.

Cunning Clint is currently working out how to reduce the floor area as its around 330m2 and that will cost too much. Last week we put a tower in the north wing to hold the stairs and it also struck me that we could put the library in the stair tower (winding up the stairs) and save area by deleting the original library room.

Still a work in progress.

Neil and Dawn's house had a big feature in Home+Entertainment magazine; here it is.
