River House

Framed by the oak-lined banks of the Fowl River, the aptly-named River House project is a celebration of its locale. Working with local artisans and builders, this home was designed with the clients’ love of entertaining in mind.

Traditional camp-inspired elements like wood paneling, layered furnishings, and nostalgic patterns are balanced by modern millwork and a calm color palette. A bar bridges old and new structures while becoming the perfect place to pour drinks for guests piled into the Great Room for Saints kickoff. Custom banquets along either side of the fireplace conceal drawers full of board games and stash firewood for fall evenings. Easy and comfortable, nothing feels too precious as guests move seamlessly from a day on the water and onto the porch for a late night ping-pong match.
