The Lake House

Designed in collaboration with London-based architect Alex Wilcock and built to exacting standards by Triple Star Construction, the home is a careful composition of proportion, material and view. The result is refined, quietly theatrical architecture that never shouts, it simply draws you to the water and lets the light do the talking.

The plan has been calibrated for living and entertaining. Close to 600 m² of exquisitely detailed accommodation (five bedrooms, five bathrooms) unfolds with generous living rooms, a 30 metre long conservatory, and a serious scullery and food-store to service daily living and large gatherings. Two distinct master suites and a separate guest wing give a practical flexibility; this house can be enjoyed as a private family home or run as a lodge for colleagues and guests with true privacy between zones.

The kitchen is purposeful and sociable, with commercial-grade appliances, dual Vintec wine fridges and thoughtful, separate zones that make hosting calm and smooth. A mirrored-glass splashback extends to the ceiling and keeps the view front and centre from any angle. Bespoke joinery, Italian fittings and designer lighting complete the picture for a kitchen that is as beautiful to inhabit as it is capable of large-scale hospitality.

Beneath the poise of the rooms sits a very modern powerhouse of intelligent utilities, plant and infrastructure. Ground-source, hydronic underfloor heating with 25 wells to the lake, a VRF ducted climate control system, and KNX home automation all quietly work away below in a dedicated ~150 m² bunker basement. Beyond accommodating the home’s working heart and serving as large secure storage, this unique space could support a range of recreational or vocational pursuits (bowling alley, home cinema, wine cellar, supercomputer/server/mining room - to name a few).

Outside, the garden is intentionally designed for year-round colour and privacy, an awarded ecology-led landscape that complements the house rather than competes with it. Thoughtful outdoor living, an established native palette and easy water access (including a private boat dock and marina nearby) place the property in direct, generous relationship with the lake.

This is a high-performance house built to last 100+ years, and it’s a home that insists on being experienced. Photographs are important, but the light, the acoustics, the way the conservatory draws you toward the lake - these are qualities only truly discovered in person. For those seeking architecture that balances warmth, technical excellence and lakeside grace, 4 Fishermans Lane offers a rare, considered reply.
