The Lakehouse was bought in 2001 and has since been subjected to multiple rebuilding projects. In 2010 the 1.floor got expanded across the flat roof, so now the entire private apartment is upstairs. There are now free access all over the ground floor where visitors can walk through the gallery as well as the workshop. The Lakehouse is meant to be a place where visitors can experience the house, the art and the surrounding nature.
Around the Lakehouse there has been excavated and made several plateau as well as a couple of walls to sustain the soil. The walls are covered with glass mosaic and illustrations from different mythological themes. The small wall illustrates the killing of Medusa and the freeing of Andromeda while the bigger wall is called "Incarnation" and illustrates the spiral of the self development process.
The lakehouse has been through multiple changes since it was bought in 2001, where it previously belonged to Engelsholm Castle. The art is included in many places as part of the construction and has been made in relation to the reconstruction. There haven't been an exact plan from the beginning, rather it evolved after the needs and was at the last reconstruction in 2010 united as a complete house where it originally consisted of an old house and a newer flat extension.
There are now galleries in both sides of the house. In one end there are ceramic and glass art and in the other there are paintings.

The glass workshop was last expanded in 2010 and is now one big room. There is currently being worked with glass fusing, which means that the glass is processed while it's cold and is then being melted together in the oven at about 830 degree celsius.
Right in front of the Lakehouse is Engelsholm Lake, which in itself makes the visit worthwhile. The lake is a source of inspiration and creative processes in every season of the year.
With Noerup Church on the other side of the lake and the forest on both sides the landscape around the glass art makes for a rich and varied frame around the glass. The lake also form the basis for many of the outdoor decorations around the Lakehouse
Visitors are welcome to bring their own lunch and enjoy one of the many places around the Lakehouse. If it rains there's a terrace with a roof behind the house right next to one of the mosaics walls, which visitors are free to use.
