A lake house on Smith Mountain lake. The residence uses stone, glass, and wood to provide views to the lake. The large roof overhangs protect the glass from the sun. An open plan allows for the sharing of space between functions. Most of the rooms enjoy a view of the water.

Sage, moss, cocoa, and golds mimic the natural tones found in the landscape out the large windows. Earthy textures and interesting woods further repeat the nod to the natural setting outdoors. Painting is by artist Jean Richardson. Tre Dunham with Fine Focus Photography
