Nestled in a beautiful forested landscape with a creek running below the home in Cashiers, North Carolina, the Knob Creek Residence was designed by Platt Architecture and built by Schmitt Building Contractors. Designed with traditional style interiors, the rustic home features exposed ceiling trusses, high ceilings, wood planked flooring, exquisite light fixtures and many other intricate details.

A stunning spiral staircase leads one from the bottom level to the top level on one section of the house. The house is raised up from its foundation, creating a bridge over the rushing creek, where the living spaces have striking views of the surrounding landscape.

Not too bad. But – again – money doesn’t mean good design. This seems to have some siting elegance but the basic structure is average at best.

I love the idea of the house being built over the creek. The house is beautiful, but I think if it were mine, I’d make it a little more rustic on the inside since it’s in the forest that hopefully isn’t heavily populated.

What a funny idea ! It’s so warm at night (even if everyone can see inside your house, but maybe the forest around is theirs too).
