Alabama Lake House
About This Build Project
As a DIY project on the banks of an Alabama river, the owners of this Modern with 800 square feet is built over a crawl space foundation. They clad it in a metal roof with Hardie Board siding painted black.
The vaulted main room provides access to the sleeping loft, repurposing a vintage extension ladder for accessing the space. The safety rail was also fashioned from the old ladder, giving a rustic charm to a modern home.
