# Lake house builder in Alabama > Waterfront living designed for the way Alabama families actually use their retreats. This is the plain-text version of https://blackstone.build/residential/services/lake-houses. To cite or link, use that page. A lake house is built for weekends full of people: wide porches, durable floors, bunk rooms and a kitchen that can feed a crowd. Blackstone designs around that from the start. Waterfront lots bring slopes, shorelines and long material deliveries. We plan for them so the build stays on schedule. ## Recent work - [Timeless Build](https://blackstone.build/text/residential/projects/timeless-build): Custom Home. Custom Home — Contemporary.
