Just Far Enough Away

Alabama’s picturesque Lake Martin has long been a welcoming summer retreat for architect Bill Ingram. “It’s just far enough away that you can leave everything behind,” he says of the destination just an hour-and-a-half from his home in Birmingham.

And though he loves the opportunity to shake off everyday cares, he has brought all of his best talents to the task at hand. The mission: to build a refined, authentic house with American detailing that looks as though it has been there for ages and takes full advantage of natural light and lakeside breezes.

Shown here:“The water outside is like a mirror in the morning,” says Ingram of his view from the master suite.
