With 25% left to go, the form was terrific and it would have been great to have just left the lake as is, but we need volume, so we began widening. The original form was abandoned, and the remainder of the south and eastern banks staked in the field.
The form really isn’t something you would draw on paper and say to yourself, “Oh! Yes, this will look fantastic” but out in the field it does. From different angles it will provide different looks, instead of a large open pit filled with water that rarely changes with different perspectives.
The edges on the east and south are not round and soft like an amoeba, but sharper and angular, as if eroded by the forces of nature. When vegetation takes over the banks, it will take on another dimension, and on a clear calm morning from the clubhouse the reflections should be both interesting and beautiful.
