Grange Lake House by Turkel Design
This custom home in Serenbe, just outside of Atlanta, is set in a community that embraces environmental sustainability. The house is built to EarthCraft House Program standards, including energy efficiency, water conservation, and resource-efficient building materials and systems.
In order to harvest rainwater for on-site irrigation, an inclined butterfly roof drains water through a central scupper along a cantilevered spillway into a retention pond below—creating a dramatic plume of water that transforms rainfall into an experiential event. The home’s clear sight lines run straight through the house, directly out to the dogwood trees beyond.
