Bridge House: Home Across A Stream

Posted: 23 Oct 2013 07:47 AM PDT

For some people, the ultimate vacation retreat is a sprawling beach house in a balmy climate. But for true nature lovers, nothing compares to a cabin deep in the mountains where a whole family can relax next to a roaring fire while snow falls outside. This North Carolina cabin, nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains and designed by the team at Platt Architecture certainly fits the bill.

The cabin itself actually spans a river, balancing atop heavy stone columns and giving unparalleled views of the surrounding forest.

The house is situated high enough so as to accommodate the frozen winter trickle as well as the rushing springtime rapids.

The architects have carved out room for the occupants to see, with windows at every opportunity, but some older tress are right up against the building, giving it a truly rustic feel.

The interior is delightfully woodsy and welcoming. From exposed ceiling beams to hardwood floors and even wooden chandeliers, the outside forest is never far away.

Of course, no cabin would be complete without a central fireplace for those cold winter nights. Ample, plush seating ensures every member of the family - or hunting party - has a comfortable place to rest.

Despite its remote location, the cabin's kitchen has all the modern accouterments any gourmet chef could want and can serve as its own informal gathering place with a long breakfast bar area.

Overall, this cabin offers the conveniences of a beautiful modern home all in a rustic, natural setting. It is a perfect place to forget the fast pace of modern life without giving up any comfort.
