Modern Lake Residence in Iowa from Min Day Architects

Min Day Architects have designed this house overlooking West Lake Okoboji in Iowa.
From Arch:  For a lake residence on a diminutive lot in rural Iowa, we conceived of a house as a series of spatial frames that offer a focused and private experience on an otherwise densely populated shore. This second home sits in a resort area that appears as an oasis in the midst of the Midwestern “corn desert”. Not at all nostalgic for the cottages of years gone by, the owners nevertheless wanted a house that was “all about the lake” and the oak trees that bound the lake from the expanse of farmland beyond. In response to the narrow wedge-shaped lot with the lake at one end, we conceived of the house as a 3-dimensional set of “blinders” that obscure the neighbors and gradually open up to the lake beyond.  Passing through the house one moves from areas of density to areas with a diaphanous quality – the house is a spatial gradient.

Egy Iowa-i tó (West Lake Okoboji) partjára tervezte a Min Day Architects ezt a modern fával burkolt családi rezidenciát amely fantáziadús és mozgalmas exteriőrével , nagy üvegfelületeivel valamint legalább ilyen mozgalmas enteriőrével hívta fel magára a figyelmet.A tervező szerint nagy fába vágták a fejszét azzal hogy a sűrűn beépített nyaralóövezetben , nosztalgikus házak közé egy ilyen modernista témát vállasztottak de én úgy gondolom a fotókat látva hogy megérte.
