Lake view House A home in the woods was designed with the client's one request in mind: to be able to enjoy the lake view and the mountain view all the time.  As a result, an elongated floor plan with each room in the house as "one room deep" giving both views to all the rooms.  The clients love the great outdoors and love living in the middle of the woods.  With multiple windows, you never lose sight of where you are in context with the outside.  The steep site's slope, complexities, and exposures also added to the unique floor plan's design. Large and open spaces inside the house emulate the feeling of freedom from boundaries - just like being outside.  Natural materials are used on the exterior for their subtlety - mocha colored true three coat stucco, stone from a local quarry, and cedar shingle roof. The natural materials inside the house create a personal experience even in a room with twenty foot ceilings.  Warm heart pine wood, natural stone fireplaces, handcrafted trim, handmade doors, and built-ins create a welcoming and cozy home.
