Modern Southern Transitional Lakehouse

This custom new build is a refined take on modern Southern transitional design, thoughtfully layered with subtle lakehouse influences and European-inspired details. The home balances classic architecture with clean, contemporary finishes, creating spaces that feel both timeless and inviting.

Upon entry, dramatic steel-framed glass doors open into a light-filled interior defined by soaring ceilings, graceful arches, and carefully curated sightlines. Warm wood beams and ceilings soften the home’s scale, adding depth and character while enhancing the relaxed lakehouse feel. Natural light pours through expansive windows, connecting the indoors with the surrounding landscape and reinforcing the home’s effortless flow.

The heart of the home centers around a beautifully appointed kitchen that blends function and elegance. Custom cabinetry, natural wood accents, and refined stone surfaces are paired with classic lantern-style lighting and European-inspired architectural details. The result is a space that feels grounded and welcoming, yet elevated enough for entertaining.

Throughout the home, thoughtful design moments—arched niches, layered textures, curated lighting, and custom millwork—add quiet sophistication without overwhelming the architecture. The living spaces feel open and airy, while still offering warmth, balance, and a sense of intention in every detail.
