This incredibly breathtaking modern lakeside retreat called the “cascading lake house” was designed by Smith & Vansant Architects, nestled in the heart of Vermont. In this lake house getaway, the architects employed materials that would reflect light and create interesting textures and shadows throughout the interior and exterior spaces.

The result is a collection of dynamic, light-filled rooms and porches that seamlessly blend with the beauty of the Vermont landscape. Continue below to see the rest of this fabulous home tour…

What We Love: This stunning lakeside haven is beautifully integrated into the hillside to maximize views over the lake. From exterior to interior, an attractive mix of materials makes this home stand out. We love the harmonious indoor-outdoor flow of the home and the open and airy flow. The screened porch is the ultimate space to enjoy fresh breezes off the water while being sheltered from the elements and the pesky bugs. We are also loving the deck, the perfect spot for entertaining family and friends!
