Le Refuge by the Lake — House 21
Designed as a serene and joyful holiday home, Le Refuge by the Lake — House 21 is a place where architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony. Set along the water’s edge and embraced by the surrounding landscape, the house invites you to relax, disconnect, and reconnect with nature.
The living space is the heart of the home and truly outstanding. Expansive glazing blurs the boundary between indoors and outdoors, filling the interior with natural light and framing views of the lake, sky, and forest. Warm wood finishes and soft textures create a refined yet welcoming atmosphere.
At the center of the living area, the fireplace stands as the soul of the house — the coolest place to gather, relax, and unwind. Uniquely designed and specially created for House 21, the fireplace is crafted in metal, its fluid form evoking a breeze of wind moving across a wave. Both sculptural and functional, it becomes a striking focal point, bringing warmth, movement, and intimacy to the space, and transforming the living area into a cozy sanctuary during snowy winters and calm evenings by the lake.
Every space within House 21 is designed to strengthen the connection to nature, from peaceful bedrooms with framed views to quiet corners meant for rest and reflection. More than a holiday home, Le Refuge by the Lake — House 21 is a place of elegance, comfort, and joy.
