Cedar Creek

Vacation Home by Emily Summers Design in Cedar Creek, TX

The Cedar Creek Residence is located on a beautiful wooded 7 acre site on Cedar Creek Lake. The project included the design of a main residence, guest pavilion, storage barn and various ancillary architectural features.

Large expanses of full-height sliding glass walls allow for a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors. Mid-century detailing and naturalistic qualities are the guiding principles of the interior. The living room rug, reminiscent of a rippling pond, and natural edge wood slab furnishings enhance the interior / exterior bond. The outdoor hanging chairs, covered porch banquette, bunk room, and tree house emphasize that this is a place to relax, but also to play. The design also allows for landscape elements such as a sunken bocce court and fire pit courtyard to become integral to the architecture. In this sense the interior spaces also serve as porches, true to the client’s original desire.
