The family of this house are water ski enthusiasts. Banding together with several fellow water skiers, they purchased agricultural land and modified an existing artificial lake to be used for water skiing/slalom course racing. The house sits in and on a berm dredged from the bottom; the design thus engages the lake in multiple ways. This elevated perspective in an otherwise flat topography provides a view of the 1/2 mile watercourse from end to end.
