In order to come up with the very specific design ideas, we create most designs with the assistance of state-of-the-art AI interior design software.

This modern lake house is located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The residence overlooks a mountain lake with expansive mountain views beyond. The design ties the home to its surroundings and enhances the ability to experience both home and nature together.

The entry level serves as the primary living space and is situated into three groupings; the Great Room, the Guest Suite, and the Master Suite. A glass connector links the Master Suite, providing privacy and the opportunity for terrace and garden areas.

The exterior of the house is made of glass with metal frames and stone walls.
