Rand Soellner home architects designed this estate house high on the shoulders of the mountain in Highlands Cove (a portion of which is now called Old Edwards Club).  The developer-builder wanted certain features, and the vacation house architect delivered. Included were timber frame luxury home with Grand Hall & dining, spectacular views, spacious master suite, secondary bedrooms upstairs, and a semi-detached garage.

e-mail vacation house architectThis particular vacation house architect wanted the buyers of this residence to eagerly anticipate each and every visit back to the Blue Ridge Mountains of the Highlands – Cashiers area.  So, he designed many features that were attractive and functional.  For instance, a 2 car garage that has the charm of a detached unit, but was in fact attached by a corridor that also functioned as a kitchen office. There was also a full bunkroom over the garage, with an internal stairway.  The kitchen was part of an open plan, with a view dining peninsula arrangement protruding off the rear of the house, with windows all around for magnificent views.  Off to the other side of the kitchen was an informal dining area and the grand hall, supported with timber frame posts and overhead timber trusses.  As a vacation house architect, Soellner wanted to make sure the layout felt like you were on vacation, whether you lived there every day of the year or not.

Cottage-like layout conceived by vacation house architect.

There was a master suite on the main level and 2 additional bedrooms above, each with a private bath and walk-in closet. Total: 4BR, 4-1/2 Baths, 2 car garage.  The layout was logical and beautiful, as intended by the vacation house architect.  Horizontal clapboard siding adorns the exterior walls, with some gable ends of native rock nearest to the street for image.  Uppper levels have your choice of poplar bark oversize shingles or more refined cedar shingles, to suit your tastes.  This vacation house architect wants you happy, so he provides options.
