Finnish Lake House

It’s but a modest wedge in comparison to this magnificent Naantali, Finland landscape, but this lake house is anything but “modest.” Designed by Finnish architecture firm Huttunen Lipasti Pakkanen, this cool hillside home plan really is all about its natural surrounds, clad in wood and framing a pristine view of the peaceful lake at its feet. Villa Mecklin is built using untreated timber that will eventually naturally turn grey, and topped by a corrugated metal roof that echoes the colors of the stone hillside and the lake. In true Nordic fashion, this house features a shoreline sauna and a guest cabin, each heated by a wood-burning stove. Inside the house is completed with warm wood and simple finishes, and facing the lake are floor-to-ceiling doors that open onto an expansive outdoor entertaining area. Huttunen Lipasti Pakkanen
