One of the oldest lakefront properties in Hillsborough County, Florida will be home to this very contemporary new house, built on the lakefront property to enjoy the views and water sports afforded by lakefront living. The existing home on the property will be demolished as it is encroaches into the wetland setback, and regularly floods due to it’s floor height below the required flood elevation. We designed the new home to express the materials of central Florida and the lake: incorporating native stone cladding, and featuring modern steel and concrete reflecting the owner’s modern taste. A waterfall feature at the front of the home will welcome visitors to the home’s lakefront location and incorporate recirculating water from the lake
