Lake Whitney Compound – Phase 1
Located on the edge of Lake Whitney, this five-house family compound features the addition of a new lake house and accompanying lodge that overlook a grand view of the lake. Additionally, three renovated homes at the front of the property were also included. This family compound included a pool and patio design that successfully created private lake views with ample opportunities for entertainment and leisure.

Environmental Factors:
In addition, a grand entry water retention and micro-climate feature were added to create an incredible entry approach. Adding these elements also allow for the property to take advantage of the prevailing southern winds. Evidently, there is now an ability to hold and re-purpose runoff from the site for irrigation. These innovations continue to engage elements from the compound’s surroundings and environment.
The environment and sustainability were carefully considered in this family compound pool and patio design, with the client in mind, to not take away from the surrounding conditions but to only add to it.
