“This renovation wasn’t just about function—it was equally about feeling. We wanted the home to feel restful, intentional, and cohesive,” Jessica says. “For example, the brass details serve as quiet punctuation marks throughout the design—sophisticated, subtle, and grounding amidst the soft monochrome palette,” Jessica says.

As the kitchen and dining space are the first environments to take in upon entering the home, Jessica and Nate created a statement of discreet luxury.

“We wanted every element of the kitchen to reflect the serenity and movement of the lake just beyond the window. The curved island surface in quartz became a sculptural centerpiece—a quiet echo of the water’s natural flow, anchoring the space in both function and form,” Jessica adds.

Beyond the kitchen, where originally, a floating staircase made of wood and steel led to the second floor, the designers replaced its industrial-looking elements with a solid white foundation, accented with a brass handrail and balusters. They then concealed the steel stair railing leading to the lower level with a monolithic plaster banquet, decisively organic and modern in feel. This allowed for a new, practical dining arrangement while also feeling perfectly integrated into the open living room.

The views of the lake are naturally a paramount feature of the house, particularly in the living area, with vast windows that nearly reach 30 feet high. And with the home’s open layout, Trove showed their keen sensibility for assimilating each space while also marrying the interior with nature beyond.

The designers made some key changes in the living room. The fireplace leading all the way to the ceiling was resurfaced in Portola Roman Clay, and its hearth was covered in elegant Dekton, uniquely accented with concave fluted white oak curved details. The statement lighting evokes a musical mood.

Substantial remodeling was given to each of the home’s four bathrooms, including a customized dressing room off the primary ensuite bath, with tasteful storage features, such as carousel shelving for shoes and handbags that are concealed behind rounded doors of white oak. Its bath is a showcase of natural marble, brass, a steam shower lined in Zellige tile,  his-and-her vanities, heated floors, and of course, unique lighting.

With the project completed in 10 months, the family moved into the home in September of last year, already experiencing all four seasons on the lake.

“It’s rare to have a space where architecture, environment, and materiality come together so seamlessly,” Nate concludes. “This project was a collaboration between vision and craft, where every detail was intentionally chosen to create a calm, refined atmosphere that feels as timeless as the view outside.”
