Waterfront timber resort facade with glowing interior lights at dusk
A waterfront hospitality precedent featuring warm timber facades, generous glazing, and symmetrical gabled massing that glows across the lake at dusk.
- What we like about this project
- The complex integrates seamlessly behind a row of mature deciduous trees that frame the facade without obscuring it.
