Wurzburg Lake House
The Wurzburg Lake House is a modern vacation home for a Memphis-based family, located in a wooded subdivision on Pickwick Lake. It is a comfortable, modern getaway, which provides a welcoming retreat from city life. To maximize panoramic views of the lake, this 3,500 square foot waterfront home is partially embedded into its sloping site. The entry pathway into the home splits the main volume into distinct public and private zones, resulting in a dramatic framed view of the lake. The low-sloped roof of the public zone directs one to views of the forest, while the private zone opens towards the water. These lightwood and glass volumes sit atop a heavy stone and concrete base, which anchors the home to the site.
