This Custom home is clad in Alaskan Cedar Shake and Board & Batten siding. This home was carefully designed and oriented for its site with the majority of the home's windows being on the west facing side looking directly out at the bay.

This new modern house is located in a meadow in Lenox MA. The house is designed as a series of linked pavilions to connect the house to the nature and to provide the maximum daylight in each room. The center focus of the home is the largest pavilion containing the living/dining/kitchen, with the guest pavilion to the south and the master bedroom and screen porch pavilions to the west. While the roof line appears flat from the exterior, the roofs of each pavilion have a pronounced slope inward and to the north, a sort of funnel shape. This design allows rain water to channel via a scupper to cisterns located on the north side of the house. Steel beams, Douglas fir rafters and purlins are exposed in the living/dining/kitchen pavilion. Photo by: Nat Rea Photography

Side view of the exterior of the mountain contemporary hideaway. The vertical cedar board and batten siding contrast against the gray cultured stone on the entry pillars, chimney, and wainscotting. Cultured stone is from Mutual Materials, in "Loon Lake" with concrete charcoal colored pier caps on the pillars. Cedar siding is stained with a mixture of 50% clear and 50% woodtech bark. The double garage doors are custom made with STK rough cedar and 3 pane insulated glass and are stained to match the cedar siding. Windows are Andersen E-Series with exterior cladding in Seirra Bronze and paint grade wood for in the interiors. Roofing is GAF Timberline HD in Weathered Wood. Covered deck (right) uses Zometek Composite Decking in Chestnut and a custom horizontal metal railing in Sierra Bronze to match the exteriors of the windows.

Night falls on the 18 x 45 rectilinear swimming pool with marble tile coping. Cedar decking and a cedar-clad pool house are illuminated by lots of night lighting and landscape lighting accentuates all the nearby natural features. Beyond the outdoor shower: a dry sauna inside the pool house, and an outdoor kitchen around the corner.

Simple style, combined with simple materials, creates wonderful spaces for easy lake living. Photos by Susan Teare
