Louisiana Lake House
Lake Bruin, LA — 2023
This large Acadian-style home on an idyllic lake in Northern Louisiana was designed for one large extended family to enjoy at the same time. The 10-bedroom, 9-bath retreat sleeps 32, with bedrooms, bunkrooms, and spacious communal areas perfect for making lasting memories.

The traditional front facade of the home, full of detailed woodwork, is made more contemporary via steel windows and a floating stair visible from the outside, while a balcony celebrates the lake view at the rear of the home.

Authentic Southern character is embodied through the use of Mississippi brick, Pennsylvania bluestone, and dirty top antique pine floors. These materials are chosen for their ability to age gracefully and tell their own stories.
