Lakehouse backyard

A tranquil weekend retreat is a waterfront dream home for its owners, designed by Heather Garrett Design in the countryside of Lake Gaston, North Carolina.

The program for this home is familiar; provide entertaining spaces for family gatherings, intimate spaces for daily life, prioritize lake views and enhance and respect the natural environment. This sloping site presented a unique design challenge. The program required outdoor spaces adjacent to the first-floor kitchen, living and great room, allowing their functions to extend beyond the walls.

We believe everyone should have outdoor living areas. They are a place you can gather friends and family and share stories into the night around a fire. They don't have to be over the top or cost a years salary. Just keep it simple and the focus on people.
