This beautiful rustic retreat was built by Construction Services of NW Arkansas, with interiors by Locati Interiors, overlooking Table Rock Lake in Missouri. The Chimney Rock home incorporates water at almost every vantage, designed as a lakeside retreat for the homeowners who love to entertain family and friends. The entry to the residence takes visitors along a pathway of stepping stones and a bridge over shallow, reflective pools that meet the stone facade of the home, giving the illusion of a structure built on the water rather than next to it.
Lead on the project, partner Kyle Tage, describes the firm’s approach to incorporating water into the design of this rustic retreat. “Our main emphasis is creating unity between water elements and the architecture. Careful thought and planning go into both the visual impact of the water feature and how you experience it throughout the home, as well as the auditory enjoyment that water can bring.” This thoughtful attention is evident on the opposite elevation of the home as well, where water cascades gently away from the great room and outdoor living areas, toward the lake below. The sound of falling water is the background music to family meals and memories made.
Whether it be a lake home or a fishing retreat on the river, one principle holds true throughout all of Locati’s projects on the water: a recognition that water is Earth’s most precious resource. While building near water, Locati approaches design with both a reverence for its beauty and an appreciation for its importance to all.
What We Love: This stunning rustic retreat offers a zen-like feel with water features surrounding the property. Stepping inside, warm and welcoming interiors offers cozy spaces to relax and entertain. The outdoor living spaces are equally exquisite, with a covered porch and furnishings surrounding a fireplace. We are loving this lakeside oasis, it would be very ideal for summer vacations!… Readers, what do think? Would this be your idea of a dream house retreat? Tell us in the Comments!
