A Spectacular River Overlook by AWAD Architects
Prior Lake, Minnesota
This custom home was designed to take full advantage of its spectacular site overlooking the Credit River. Every space was positioned to capture natural light and sweeping views, from the open main living area to the inviting screened porch that blurs the line between indoors and out.
Inside, warm wood tones and natural materials balance clean lines and modern details, creating a home that feels both contemporary and timeless. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living spaces make entertaining effortless, while intimate corners — like the cozy sunroom and lower-level patio — provide quiet places to unwind.
The exterior architecture blends rustic elements with refined detailing: a mix of stone, wood brackets, and standing seam metal accents that echo the home’s natural surroundings.
Designed for gathering, relaxation, and everyday living, this home reflects how thoughtful design can connect people to their landscape — and to one another.
