"We referenced both traditional rugged
mountain homes and breezy lakeside
cabins of the area, and interpreted them
with a contemporary approach," says
Falkenberg. The panorama was the main
source of inspiration and informed all
Falken Reynolds' decisions, especially
for the materials that had to be durable
and efficient, resulting in the use of stone,
wood and leather.
"Black reveals above the walls and mill-
work create the illusion of the wood ceiling
floating — the same principle Mies van
der Rohe used in the Barcelona Pavilion
— adding a sense of both strength and
lightness," notes Falkenberg.
In addition to optimizing the exceptional
views, allowing the spaces to function
effortlessly for an active family in all four
very distinctive seasons and creating the
perfect home for entertaining were at the
top of the list for this project.
"To make the house feel welcoming, the
outdoor living spaces — dining, fire pit,
tennis court, and dock — all face the front
yard," describes Falkenberg.
The light color palette and pieces of furni-
ture and lighting by Muuto, Scott Landon
Antiques, Bensen, Zanotta, Roll and Hill,
Gubi, Cappellini, Knoll and Flexform — to
name only a few of the brands that popu-
late the space — contribute to the casual
yet refined atmosphere.
"The concept was a home that felt like a
cozy alpine cabin with nods to both coun-
try and modern aesthetic," says Falken-
berg. "After living in the home for almost a
year, the homeowner gave one of the best
compliments we could get from client by
saying 'We use every inch of this house.' "
