This lake home’s interior provides a masterclass in how modern aesthetics and timber can combine to create a visually welcoming and soothing space.

Scissor-braced trusses in the main living area pull in the warm wood of cabinets, the mantle, and the creamy tones of the fireplace stone.

These trusses also carry into the adjoining sunroom, where the look becomes distinctly rustic with the full wood treatment of walls and ceiling.

Outside, a covered timber entry and gable details with curving tie beams may not seem to align with the modern interior – but that’s the freedom of being outside!
