Southern Living Magazine selects various projects of Southern architecture and design in varying categories for yearly recognition. Architect Bill Ingram of Birmingham, Alabama won this year for Best New Home for a home on Lake Martin, Alabama that hardly looks like new construction. I love shingle style, but have long admired the stone homes and cottages throughout the east, especially in Bucks County, PA, so when I came across this home I was excited to feature it for many reasons. Every once in a while I would come across Mr. Ingram’s work and say to myself, he does a really, really nice job, and tuck the thought away, until I came across this home and decided I just had to do a post on his work and share his talent with you. The 5,000 sq. ft. home is designed to take in beautiful lake views, but I can certainly see this home on a knoll overlooking a horse pasture with a wood and stone barn nearby. In fact, although I love lake living, it would be my preference. So on to some photos…….
I was able to find more photos of his work that I have long admired, so here we go.
I am so pleased to have been able to present another designer/architect that I have admired for a considerable amount of time. Thanks for stopping by! Laters, charisse

Stone homes have always been on top of my list, this is awesome, thanks for sharing
I am so glad you enjoyed the post. There is a certain character to a stone house that draws one in. I have always thought them special! Thanks for commenting.
