Project Description
WORK IN PROGRESS
SANTEETLAH, NORTH CAROLINA
2023
The Lake Santeetlah Residence is a renovation of and addition to a modest forty-year old cottage on the shores of a man-made lake in western North Carolina. Surrounded by Joyce Kilmer National Forest, the new house takes advantage of the unspoiled views of the surrounding mountains and deep waters of the lake. The second story addition raises the living spaces of the house and allows all of the newly created lower-level bedrooms direct access to and views of the lake. The dark palette of the black-oiled shou sugi ban siding and the forest green windows recede into the forested setting of the lake as well as providing a low maintenance home that will hopefully last for future generations.
