This family home was recently awarded the “The Best Custom Home of the Year” by the National Home Builders Association. The mountain design creatively celebrates the use of logs, as the primary building material. However, the importance of maintaining an overall balance between the combined building materials pallet was considered so that no one material was dominate. The design was recognized as merging gracefully, the overall pallet of materials. Thoughtful site planning, allowed multidirectional views of both Lake and Ski Mountain to be framed from most rooms.
