“ The light in Barcelona is quite different from the light in Tokyo.

And, the light in Tokyo is different from that in Prague.

A truly great structure, one that is meant to stand the test of time never disregards its environment.

A serious architect takes that into account. He knows that if he wants presence, he must consult with nature.

He must be captivated by the light. Always the light. Always. ”

- ‘Simon Wyler, The Lake House’
