French Country Residence

Van Auken Akins Architects LLC designed a new 6,286 SF residence in the French Country style. Beautiful oriental rugs, labor intensive faux finishes, whimsical and elegant wall coverings, granite countertops, custom cabinetry and a rich color palette all combine to create the casual elegant style, perfect for the client’s entertaining needs. Notable features include the hand-painted French countryside mural in the kitchen, custom built-in buffet in the dining room, and two rough-hewn timber trusses and pine tongue and groove sloped ceiling soaring above the great hall. * Winner of American Society of Interior Designers Award
