Lake View House

By O'Neil Architecture

Profile
Lake View House banner

Situated on the water’s edge this spectacular property is a home of two halves.

The house is distinguished by a simple arrangement of gabled forms which appear to stand alone, but are connected by a flat floating roof. The contrasting use of black and white adds to the sculptural feel, with the dark roofing product being carried down the exterior walls providing texture and contrast to the smooth plaster finish.

Our design approach was ‘less is more’ resulting in a clean uninterrupted finish. From the road the home appears private, and formal, yet the solidity of the stone helps ground the house to the site. In contrast the lake side is open, inviting, and relaxed. The raised infinity edge terrace gives the illusion that you’re floating on the water.

About the
Professional

With over 20 years experience and an extensive portfolio of award winning homes, O'Neil Architecture has built a solid reputation designing architectural homes. 

Founder and Principal Architectural Designer Darren O’Neil leads this small boutique office, along with Senior Designer Jacinda Shirley, Senior Technical Designer Phil Ngenang, and Practice Manager Lucy Ross. We specialise and focus on high quality residential design with the purpose of providing exceptional outcomes by intentionally limiting the number of projects undertaken.

Whilst being design driven, our practice has a firm interest in the feasibility and pragmatics of construction. We listen to your needs and amalgamate your brief with our aesthetic direction, the specific site requirements, and environmental considerations. Our priority is ensuring our documentation is of the highest quality to assist your builder in creating an inspired, timeless, and elegant home.

This comprehensive approach provides our clients with the stress free, rewarding experience they deserve; and a truly superb house that will exceed all expectations.

We offer professional services from conception to completion. We’re different because we do not apply a standard percentage like many other practices. Each project is assessed and quoted individually, our fee structure is competitive and depending on the project we can usually offer a fixed price quotation.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
