Lodge or Cabin/ Rustic

Lodge or Cabin/ Rustic style designs feature organic textures, natural warmth, a focus on the outdoors, and wood or log details. This style often features high ceilings, exposed beams, wood siding, and large picturesque windows. Rustic designs can be reminiscent of the mountains or Western décor with weathered woods and an overall feel of patina, but located anywhere.

Kristi Thompson and her design team at MWA, Inc. was a pleasure to work with. They listened to our wishes, design criteria and looked at out bubble diagrams and incorporated it all into the architectural plans. Another bonus was that they worked quickly with the local agencies and obtained our permits in a timely fashion. The house has numerous unique qualities and isn’t a standard ‘Tahoe Mountain Home’. Instead it is an ‘eclectic house’ as Kristi called it as each room has its own character. We are very pleased with the final design of the house; and love living in it.
