Wolf-Huang Lake House
A home on Lake Orange turns a constrained wooded site into a sequence of rooms and outdoor spaces oriented towards the water.

The project
The Wolf-Huang Lake House sits on a constrained site beside Lake Orange. Its layout and long elevations make the most of the relationship between the home, the woodland and the water, drawing views through the principal living spaces.
The architect describes houseboats in Amsterdam as an influence on the design. Here, the connection to the lake is made through broad glazing, sliding doors and a screened porch that provides an intermediate place to sit among the trees.

High-level windows bring light into the interior, while roof overhangs and opening windows form part of the approach to shade and ventilation. The published account also identifies a rooftop solar array.
The architect-posted project record gives an area of 2,677 ft² and a project year of 2021. Arielle Schechter is credited for architecture and interiors, BuildSense for construction, and Tzu Chen Photography for the photographs.
