Platform 5 Architects designed this inspiring lakehouse situated in Norfolk Broads, England, in 2016. Take a look at the complete story after the jump.

Backwater by Platform 5 Architects

From the architects: The house sits on a small promontory in a secluded lagoon in the Norfolk Broads and offers a contemporary counterpoint to more traditionally designed neighbouring houses, while respecting the peaceful natural setting. It is arranged as three low rise bays beneath a series of pitched roofs, which are reminiscent of nearby boat sheds.

A key objective was to create simple, contemporary living spaces at the centre of the house that are orientated to benefit from the views of the surroundings.
