This rustic contemporary lake house was designed by Stillwater Architecture and built by Bear Mountain Builders, nestled on Whitefish Lake, Montana. The exterior facade is composed of cedar woods, metal cladding, stucco, and natural stones. The design of this home was inspired by the homeowner’s request to create an aesthetic that is not overly modern, rustic or contemporary. Instead, the design should invite a conversation with nature.
At 4,600 square feet, this multi-level home encompasses an open plan living, dining and kitchen area, a second master suite, office and guest bedrooms on the main level. On the second level is a the master bedroom suite, a bonus room with a stylized kitchenette and a boat-like bunk room with a deck showcasing views to the lake and beyond. Hunter & Company Interior Design was responsible for the beautiful interiors of this striking lake house design.
What We Love: This striking lake house design offers spacious interior living area and awe-inspiring views of the lake. There is plenty of room to enjoy curling up with a good book in front of the living room fireplace, or entertaining guests on various decks among the cedar trees. This warm and inviting home is perfectly designed to enjoy any season in comfort and style… Readers, please let us know in the Comments what you think of the overall design of this idyllic lake house!
