Opportunity to Visit Custom Mountain Lodge Homes
We encourage you to take advantage of this interesting opportunity to see some of the most breathtaking custom mountain lodge homes in the world. Do you think that is overstating?
Well…every single one of the above mountain lodge homes are featured in the recent full-color coffee table book released by Images Publishing. In this thick volume are about the top 100+/- mountain homes in the world, from around the globe, including the work of Mario Botta and other high-ranking mainstream architects. The publishers asked Rand Soellner to participate, as his designs stand apart from all of the other houses in the book. How so?
Rand Soellner’s houses are his own special brand of mountain lodge homes. They have texture. They have large timber beams and timber trusses. They have substantial native rock, they have large rock fireplaces and chimnies. They have open plan home designs. They have big framed views. They have steeply pitched roofs, often with slate or similar roofing. They have timber frame and post and beam structural systems. They have large open kitchens. They have outdoor living rooms and summer kitchens. One of Rand’s recent clients purchased House With A View and reported back to him that the only homes in it that she liked were designed by the Soellner firm. Rand thanked her, even though he does appreciate the efforts of all of the other architects who designed projects in the book. Their work tends to be modern, with lots of large, flat white painted surfaces. Soellner’s tends to be more naturalistic with rockwork, large timber posts and beams and giant windows looking at the mountain views.
