Mountain Cottage

New Construction | Furnishings

This new construction project was a multi-year collaboration with our clients who were first time homebuilders.

They came to the project with a beautiful mountainous property and extensive research on how they wanted the home to function for their family. Months were spent fine tuning the floorpans and functionally of the home prior to finishes and furnishings being a focus. Every space in the home has a purpose and future plans for the exterior and lower level were thoughtfully considered during this stage. Our team enjoyed designing this authentic, comfortable home that combines the striking elements of mountain modern architecture combined with the charm of a cottage in the woods. From fine tuning the exterior materials including the rustic stone, siding and roof to crafting the interior paneled cabinetry, carefully specified tile, millwork details and wood clad ceilings, no detail was spared. Spindle chairs are combined with a modern, deep sofa in the Great Room. A modern wing host dining chair is upholstered in a traditional plaid fabric in the Dining Room. Dramatic lighting and statement furnishings are perfectly scaled and appointed throughout to function and stand the test of time for this growing family. Views out every room bring the beautiful nature and natural light inside this one of a kind Mountain Cottage home.

Construction and Architecture by Payne & Payne Builders

The team's attention to detail was second to none and we could not be more grateful for their involvement in curating our home!

“I cannot emphasize enough the tremendous impact the LYS team had on our home. From the beginning, their space planning efforts helped transform our floor plans. They were a partner to us every step of the way, providing full service design, coordinating with our builder and always advocating for what they felt was best for us and for the build. They provided valuable input on where compromises could be made in favor of savings, while giving their honest opinion on where dollars would be well spent going the extra mile – and my gosh did those details make a HUGE difference. We thought the house looked beautiful all the way through construction, but on furniture installation day….. it just kept getting better! The team’s attention to detail was second to none and we could not be more grateful for their involvement in curating our home!”
