LAKE HOUSE 03

Location: Lake Rhodhiss, Burke County, NC

Perched at the top of a steep embankment, this new home will give the owners dramatic views of Lake Rhodhiss and provide a respite from their busy everyday lives. Two low-slung pitched roofs define the profile of the house. The smaller roof opens up to greet visitors as they arrive, while the large roof opens up to the primary views of the lake. An efficient rectangular floor plan prioritizes open space and a connection to the landscape with carefully placed windows and outdoor spaces.
