This modern style bedroom with glass covered fire place and private porch provides a look we call "Modern Rustic Living".

The chance to build a lakeside weekend home in rural NC provided this Chapel Hill family with an opportunity to ditch convention and think outside the box. For instance, we traded the traditional boat dock with what's become known as the "party dock"… a floating lounge of sorts, complete with wet bar, TV, swimmer's platform, and plenty of spots for watching the water fun. Inside, we turned one bedroom into a gym with climbing wall - and dropped the idea of a dining room, in favor of a deep upholstered niche and shuffleboard table. Outdoor drapery helped blur the lines between indoor spaces and exterior porches filled with upholstery, swings, and places for lazy napping. And after the sun goes down....smores, anyone?

This sunroom/screened porch is stunning in it's simplicity. Reminiscent of a Cape Cod style, the white pitched roof, 360 views and painted wood floors make it cozy and contemporary at the same time. The window system lets you seal it up when needed or open it up to allow the lake breezes...brilliant!

Nestled into the woods on Grey’s Bay of Lake Minnetonka, this European-styled residence epitomizes sophistication and traditional refinement. With bold architectural details, Grand entry, sweeping lake views, and modern conveniences blended artfully through interior design, this home perfectly suits the demands of today’s active family.

This was a 1950's lake cabin that we transformed into a permanent residence. As a cabin, the original builder hadn't taken advantage of the beautiful lake view. This became the main focus of the design, along with the homeowners request to make it bright and airy. We created the vaulted ceiling and added many large windows and skylights.
