Wurzburg Lakehouse by Archimania

Even this house has a common look I really appreciate the use of traditional material that became history to the most architects in a world where minimalism delivers insipid homes. You might say this design is outdated. In the speed of our exterior evolution it is, but in our souls it is the design that makes one feel homey for more than a generation.
