Custom Home up to 3,000 sq. ft.

Lakefront Luxury

This lakefront retreat blends bold contrast, rich textures and bespoke details. The client tasked the project team with creating distinct yet cohesive spaces that reflect their love for dark-stained woods and dramatic color palettes. The result is a striking main floor perfect for entertaining and a deeply luxurious primary suite designed for relaxation.

The transformation included custom features such as a stunningly lit fireplace wall, a built-in banquette, a hidden roller shade in the primary suite and a striking quartz column vanity in the powder room. Through dedication and collaboration, the project became not only a success but also the start of a lasting friendship.
