Lake House

The Lake House is a confident expression of modern architecture that leaves behind any trace of vernacular influences. The home also departs from classical modernism and the tenets of the Sarasota School of Architecture through the act of minimizing overt structural expression. Shelter is shaped within a shell-like form that acts as both structure and enclosure. Although unlike many of Strang’s coastal designs in which the “shell” floats above the land and water, the Lake House is firmly grounded into its inland site using a monumental plinth. Nested within the white, stucco shell are secondary volumes that relate to specific programmatic requirements.
