Lake-Facing Homes

The Boetger Residence Has an Optimal View of the Nearby Lake

— June 16, 2017 — Art & Design
Since the Boetger Residence's plot of land abuts a small lake, BarberMcMurry Architects, the studio behind the design of the home, opted to provide the residents with as great a view as possible. The sight lines throughout the family home are all oriented towards the lake, ensuring a picturesque vista no matter where one is in the house.

Boetger Residence's lake views apply to every room and space. The lake's edge is angled towards the back of the house, so the front- and back-facing facades of the home are angled such that they are parallel to the shore. The exposed car garage acts as an outdoor frame for the lake, and every room has a window that looks out onto the water.
Trend Themes
1. Lake-view Properties - Architects and developers are designing homes with optimal views of nearby lakes, elevating the value of such properties.
2. Outdoor Framing - Exposed car garages and outdoor spaces are being used as frames to showcase the stunning views of lakes and other features of natural beauty.
3. Integrated Sight Lines - Houses are being designed with sight lines that provide every room with an optimal view of the lake, making the most of the location and enhancing the living experience.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate - Developers can increase the value of lakefront properties by designing homes with optimal views and features that highlight the natural beauty of the location.
2. Architecture - Architects can explore innovative design solutions that integrate optimal sight lines and outdoor framing to create stunning homes that make the most of lakeside properties.
3. Construction - Construction companies can develop specialized techniques for building homes that ensure maximum exposure to the lake view, using outdoor framing and other features to create a unique living experience.
