Jewel by the lake, Austria

The lake‑house tradition of Austria’s Trumer and Salzkammergut regions is known for its harmonious architecture and deep respect for the surrounding landscape.

Jewel, a contemporary holiday residence, continues this legacy by combining clear geometry with subtle sophistication. The building is a modern interpretation of the traditional lake house — settling into the landscape with natural elegance and a quiet, confident presence.

Its strong architectural identity is shaped through meticulous detailing. Warm materials, precisely considered geometry, and soft transitions between traditional and modern elements work together to create a balanced whole. Every detail — from the alignment of the windows to the rhythm of the façade — reinforces a sense of timelessness and harmony with nature.

This project features Avera AV 000, a through‑coloured fiber cement panel with a marbled surface and a translucent finish that reveals the material’s natural structure. The result is a lively façade where light and texture create depth and subtle variation throughout the day.

The collection’s harmonious tones and flexible combinations reinforce its cloud‑like, sensory character — giving each building a unique and expressive identity.
