Zapallo Peninsula · Lake Yguazú · Paraguay
At the end of the road, the lake.
The lake on three sides.
Seven rooms.One horizon.
Punta Lago sits on the very tip of the Zapallo peninsula, on Lake Yguazú. Seven brick rooms, a long gallery and the water right in front. No one competes for the sunset.
The house
A brick house facing the water.
Exposed brick walls that let light through the lattice. A concrete slab, a single-pitch roof and a long gallery for afternoon shade. In front, the pool with its stone edge. Beyond it, the lake.
Seven rooms
Every one faces the water.
Each has its own view and its own light. Photographs arrive with the next season; for now, this is how they are laid out.
