Mountain Modern

Heavy timber, stone, and glass — the rustic lodge, made contemporary.

Your take
Overview

Heavy timber, stone, and glass — the rustic lodge, made contemporary.

The contemporary evolution of the rustic mountain lodge: massive timber and stone paired with walls of glass and clean modern lines. It keeps the warmth and shelter of the cabin — exposed beams, big hearths, cozy materials — but opens it up to light and view and strips away the kitsch. Rugged and refined at once; very at home in hill, lake, and mountain settings.
