Designed by Amy Emery Interior Design and Ridgeline Construction Group, this midcentury modern house is perched above Lake Keowee in Sunset, South Carolina. Nestled within The Reserve at Lake Keowee—a private expanse spanning 3,900 acres dedicated to golf and recreation—it finds its place on the tranquil shores of Lake Keowee, nestled in the embrace of the Blue Ridge Mountains foothills.

Widely renowned for its immaculate clarity, Lake Keowee’s waters stand among South Carolina’s purest. This family escape was constructed for casual modern living and entertaining. “The architecture and interior design, inspired by mid-century modern styling, is an eclectic mix of textural natural materials and crisp clean lines,” states designer Amy Emery.

Above: In the living room, a floor-to-ceiling fireplace is clad with sheets of cold-rolled steel that were treated by a local steel artist to create the patina.

The designer likes to use contrasts of cool tones with warm tones. The flooring is prefinished, where the gray color comes through in the grain, not the overall stain. Details: Specialty Wood Products: Superior Wide Plank – White Oak; Color: Caspia

Above: In the kitchen, the countertops are natural soapstone. They are a standard 3cm thickness.

Above: In the powder bath, the countertops are a composite concrete material by Native Stone, which is even better than concrete with less staining or cracking. The vanity is a custom piece composed of three pieces of solid wood that are mitered at the corners. They are attached to the wall with steel dowels that go into the wood – like the concept of floating shelves. The faucet is from Brizo.

Above: In the bedroom, the Haiku ceiling fan is by Big Ass Fan Company.

Above: The bed is a custom piece made of Cedar. The stain color was also a custom match.
