Lakeshore Residence / Atelier Landschaft

Lakeshore is a vacation home, nestled on the edge of the backwater of a gated dam in Nashik, the wine capital of India. This house seeks to prioritize the scenic views of the Sahyadri mountains (a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the eight biodiversity hotspots in the world) and the serene lake. The challenge was to harness the views from all the rooms and spaces given the condition of the narrow site that tapers towards the west. To make optimum use of the site parameters, the volumes are derived in a linear format that compliments the edge of the water.
