Lake Sinclair

Lake Sinclair

A retractable glass pavilion on 270 feet of shoreline, designed so the lake reads as part of the living room.

Our Story

Anchored on 270 feet of pristine shoreline, Vayhaus Lake Sinclair reimagines the classic lake house as a contemporary pavilion where 10-by-32-foot retractable glass walls dissolve the boundary between interior and open water. Designed by Mike and Raquel Ayres, the three-bedroom structure (plus a six-bed bunk loft) layers an alfresco kitchen, salt-water pool deck, and an oversized round sofa into a plan where golden-hour reflections run straight through the living room.

Lakeside Luxury & Play

Sunrise swims from the private dock, a courtyard fire pit, and a poolside ping-pong table anchor the outdoor program. Inside, a 17-foot kitchen island anchors the plan, while floor-to-ceiling glass frames mirrored sunsets across the water. Modern systems — an 85-inch smart TV, surround sound, and gig-speed Wi-Fi — keep the build current without competing with the view. Salt-water pool, alfresco kitchen, ping-pong terrace, floating hammocks, and a private dock set the stage for effortless water-front living.
