German architect and family-man Carlos Zwick had the dream to find a perfectly suited plot of land near a lake close to Berlin, to build a home for his partner and 6 children.
But what he purchased at the Jungfernsee in Potsdam was a site with decaying but listed ruins and a total ban on altering the lakeside terraces.
In the end Carlos' spirit, creativity and endurance paid off: he finally received permission to build a family-house that floats 3 meters above the ground and casts a spell on everyone who puts an eye on it:
The House on the Lake.
Inspired by Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House in Illinois, Carlos has designed his perfect family retreat.
