This gorgeous modern rustic lake house designed by MHK Architecture together with The Stillwater Group is nestled on the shores of Lake Keowee in The Reserve at Lake Keowee, Sunset, South Carolina. This vacation home was created as a sanctuary for indoor-outdoor living with expansive windows, large covered porches, and patios. A palette of organic, earthy materials and finishes was selected to infuse warmth into this spacious 7,471-square-foot house.

This grand home manages to be inspiring and cozy at the same time, which was not an easy feat for the project team. Boasting seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, this home was adorned with furnishings in a calm and neutral color scheme so as not to detract from this home’s surroundings. One-of-a-kind pieces were selected throughout this home to add character. Nature-inspired artwork hangs on the wall in places lacking a window view of the outdoors.
