By a lake in the midst of a traditional neighborhood rests a villa called Dragonfly. Like its namesake, the home gently sits by the water's edge appearing poised to take flight. Two wings housing sleeping, cooking, eating, and bathing areas are positioned opposite one another, joined by a windowed interstitial living space from which inhabitants can enjoy an intimate private courtyard view on one side and an expansive lake vista on the other. Systems and storage are built into thick, hollow furniture-like walls that span the length of the structure, passing from outdoors to indoors and back out again. Joshua Curry Photography
