on the picturesque image of lake weissensee in southern austria, a cloister of pristine wooden homes and apartments as part of the alte saegerecreational resort built in 2007, winning several awards in the proceeding years. just recently, architect peter jungmann crowned the complex with the ‘bath house’ located on the water’s edge as a satellite structure to the rest of the residences. the timber construction is seemingly erectedfrom the weathered wooden dock extending activities over the water’s surface. immaculate connections add to the structure’s clean lines emphasizedby subtle metal purlins framing the inset sliding glass doors and lakeside glazed facade.
