Lake Bluff Lodge is a breathtaking modern-rustic homeย designed and built by Modern Rustic Homes, locatedย on the Blue Ridge lake in Georgia. The homeowners requested their home to be built with craftsman touches, designed for entertaining and comfortable living. The dwelling is located on a deeply sloped site, which presented its own set of challenges. The completed design maximizes the views of the lake from every room through extensive windows. The interior palette uses materials, colors and textures to infuse a modern touchย to the craftsman details. The requirement was to keep the detailsย simple, yet very comfortable.
At 20 feet by 20 feet, this great room is ultra-spaciousโespecially with its soaring 18 foot high, vaulted ceilings. The ceilingย features rough sawn planks and elegant arched collar ties. These material elements infuse a subtle craftsman aesthetic that compliments the clean lines of this magnificent space. The focal point is the dramatic fireplace, designed to showcase the stone. According to the architects, the stone applied with, “the grain vertically to the left and right and horizontally in the middle. The same material was used with a chiseled edge as a spacer between tiles to add texture and pattern.”
