Rand Soellner provided this rustic home design to a developer who wanted an entire community of Soellner-style residential designs. The neighborhood is Whiteside Cliffs. Many of the lots look up toward the majestic mountain of the same name, so it was important to the developer to have tall and wide glass areas to provide spectacular views of the huge cliff. The Falcon Cliff Lodge is the genesis home for this entire community’s 4 BR/4Ba/2Car Gar homes. Soellner created a series of elevations variations that made each home appear totally unique. The architect also provided another larger mansion rustic home design at the request of the owner.
One of Soellner’s foci: rustic home design.
Rustic home design is one of Rand Soellner’s fortes. His wife, Merry, who is an independent interior design consultant to the firm, calls it: “Rustic Elegance.” This version, the Moose Lodge was a favorite of Merry’s, due to the large timber arch feature framing the Front Porch entrance. Merry likes arches and other people like trusses and others like beams and still others like logs. Rand Soellner aims to please a variety of tastes and his custom mountain lodge series does that. “If clients don’t see exactly what they want from our existing designs, we’ll make what they want,” said Soellner, ” Rustic home design offers a nearly infinite variety of options.”
About half of architect’s client’s ask for rustic home design.
Quite of few of Soellner’s clients request a rustic home design. Merry Soellner calls the “control knob” for the amount of rusticity the “Rustic Elegance.” For instance, some people want gnarly rough round log posts with Flintstone-like bifurcations. Not many, though. Rustic home design does not necessarily need to be “over the top.” Some of Soellner’s clients want super-clean rectangular or square timber posts with sanded and polished surface with slick finishes. Not many, though. What most of Soellner’s clients want is in between: either round or rectangular posts, generally smooth, often with a satin finish. The finish desired is typically smooth enough so that a dust cloth can easily wipe it down and not shread. Common sense. Men typically appreciate rougher finishes, but the ladies have the good common sense borne of how one will have to maintain them to request smoother surfaces. Usually, through the interactive politics involved in most husband-wife relationships, there is an acceptable compromise achieved, and the woman’s requested smoother surfaces generally win. The rustic home design of Rand Soellner will accomodate whatever amount of rusticity is desired by the client.
