Entertaining is a breeze in this industrial-rustic mountain hideaway. Pastoral elements create an inviting, warm space, while a lift and slide door parts the barrier between the outdoors and in.

Nothing is as inviting as a home that embraces indoor-outdoor living. By opening the impressive bi-fold door, the dining room is seamlessly doubled in size for easy entertaining with a sleek modern look. The home mixes traditional Cape Cod style with modern aesthetics.

A dramatic departure from your typical cabin on the lake, this unique retreat adds shades of black to a tiny island awash with local color. A modern brick outdoor fireplace, tall and slim, is flanked by Philippe Starck’s outdoor chairs for Kartell for cozy fireside seating.

An enormous bi-fold door from Sun Paradise peels back to open the upgraded kitchen-dining area to a new raised terrace. The home's exterior is wrapped in an insulated render system.
