Lakeside Chapter One Retreat
A compact Chapter One pod installed overlooking a lake — perfect as a scenic getaway for a retired couple seeking a peaceful escape in nature.
When the clients first visited the site, they fell in love with the quiet shoreline and the way morning light moved across the water. They weren't looking for a large home — just a calm, beautifully made retreat to escape to on weekends. We worked closely with them to keep the footprint compact while maximising the sense of space, using full-height glazing to pull the lake view right into the living area. The build was delivered to site largely prefabricated, which kept disruption to this sensitive setting to an absolute minimum. From first sketches to handover took under ten weeks, and the owners now spend most weekends here, watching the seasons change from their own doorstep.
