Blue Lake Retreat Honored with AIA Austin Design Award

May 2017

Lake|Flato's Blue Lake Retreat was honored with an AIA Austin Design Award. Jurors commented that the design resonantes harmoniously with its site and recalls the spirit of its place. “The design resonates so harmoniously with the site. The way the house perches on the hill was pretty amazing, everything from materiality to delineation of those materials the hierarchy where you have primary, secondary, tertiary elements that become an extension of the site....Being inside the Blue Lake Retreat project was as if you are floating in the trees or about to set sail over the water, and one can imagine a likeness to it but at the same time a warmth to it and a coziness to it, so the scale works real well. One of the things that we look for and strive for in our own work is to cull the spirit of a place. And I think this project does this very well." Juror David Darling, AIA

Congratulations to all projects that received an AIA Austin Design Award! See the other recipients, here.
