Lake Scalp, MN · An open, light-filled home gathers daily life around a stone hearth.
The project
A smaller footprint. A generous feeling.
The Woodland Hearth uses height, daylight and a simple connected plan to make its gathering spaces feel generous. A tall stone fireplace anchors the living room, while upper windows follow the roofline and bring the wooded setting into view.
The kitchen sits close to the living space, with white cabinetry, a wood-based island and warm pendant lighting. An upper loft overlooks the main room, and bedrooms provide quieter spaces beyond. Outside, a paved patio wraps around the home, creating another place to gather among the trees.
