ZaZen House  - Lakeside, California, U.S.
 

Upon arrival, the property reveals itself through a striking sculptural installation set within a tranquil reflecting pond, establishing a sense of calm and intentionality. Beyond, the entry level unfolds into a grand living space, where overhead skylights wash the interior with natural light and emphasize the home’s vertical volume. Adjacent to the living area, a thoughtfully designed kitchen anchors the social core of the home, complete with a generous breakfast counter for informal gatherings. The dining area is oriented toward sweeping lake views, seamlessly extending to the pool terrace through expansive retractable glass walls that dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior living. The residence is composed of a primary suite, a secondary suite, and two additional guest or family bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, ensuring both comfort and privacy. A separate guesthouse offers an independent retreat, featuring a private deck overlooking the lake. Supporting spaces are equally considered, including a dedicated office, a below-grade viewing room, and a game or family room designed for relaxation and entertainment. The property also accommodates a three-car garage with an integrated workshop, as well as service quarters for three staff members, completing a residence that is as functional as it is refined.
