Situated on the tranquil edge of Lake Windermere, this striking new-build boathouse combines modern living with sustainable design. From the outset, the project presented unique challenges due to the fluctuating depth of the lake, which varied with the famously unpredictable Cumbrian weather.

​

The finished property features a generous open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area designed to make the most of its picturesque view of the lake.

​

In response to the client’s wish for a more energy-efficient and future-proof home, the boathouse was equipped with a range of renewable technologies, including an air source heat pump and integrated solar PV panels. These systems allow the property to operate with a reduced environmental footprint, supporting a more self-sufficient lifestyle. The result is a beautifully crafted, sustainable home that fully meets the client’s brief.
