Weekend RETREAT! Amazing use of wood architecture. Sexy lake diggs! Vertical facades are opaque to outside, yet allow view of lake and garden from within. I can picture myself lazing about on the dock and even really enjoying some time with the family while gathered about that awesome fire pit.
Multi-planar use of small plank wood beams at floor and ceiling makes it look like a builder's nightmare (but we could handle it). Anyone here speak Flemish? I sure don't but I would like to visit this place if they're willing to accept a sawdust producing, mono-linguistic American.

I'd have to say wood is the most esthically pleasing building material out there. Timer frame, log homes and architectural wooden homes likes this one are more than just homes... they're works of art.
