“Lake House”
Introducing “Lake House”, our latest addition to Diyabubula.
The Lake House is the last space Laki built “to watch the stars”.
“You can rebuild it one day”, he casually remarked, which is what we did.
Directly accessible from Lakis Terrace, the two-level space built around a tree has a triangular transparent roof. At the terrace level is the bedroom, which overlooks the Lake. As twilight falls, Lakis’s mystical sculptures around the lake come alive, and it is magic – to experience in the privacy of your elegant glass-walled bedroom.
