This extensive remodel overlooking Lake Austin is a paean to the powerful art it enfolds. Rigorous editing of every distracting, inconsequential element of the original house was critical. So too was the insertion of new complementary components that provide artful ways to move through both interior and exterior rooms. The collection of modern art is arresting. Ranging from a Turrell hologram to a pair of Agnes Martins, the art is framed by the architecture and lighting so that it is experienced in a choreographed, curated way that encourages wandering and an intimate connection to each piece. The mood is set in the entry courtyard. A floating walkway curves down and around a brilliant spiraling blue Clement sculpture. It pauses once, at a moment of surprise, when the first view through the house is filled with the blue water of the lake beyond. Inside, the saturated color of many of the pieces of art are balanced by an absence of other visual clutter in the color palette, furniture, and architecture. A new interior plaster, steel, and bronze stair carves through a space occupied by two small Clement sculptures in niches, a McKay Otto sculpture on a landing and a glass cylinder elevator. This is a very specific place, designed for specific art and for a collector who has a close relationship with each piece.

This New York customer knew that replacing cushion covers is a smart way to upgrade your patio seating. Instead of going with a standard neutral, he went bold with Sunbrella Dupione Crimson upholstery fabric. The red cushions now steal the show on this patio and will look vibrant for years to come! What better way to enjoy the outdoors from this gorgeous scenic overlook?

The clients built this new home on Lake Minnetonka and hoped for a relaxing space for their family & friends. Loving the Minimalist & Zen style, they wanted to use timeless and quality materials in the space and have the design speak to group entertaining. It was important that the whole space felt open and connected yet very thoughtful with the design elements. Major hardcover restraints had to be followed on this lakeshore property, which lead to creative carpentry and wall placements to make spaces.

It was a pleasure and a privilege to work with the owners of this custom home while it was still under construction. The early planning allowed LWB to design the topographic features of the site to fit into the amenities that the clients desired such as an organically shaped swimming pool, a spa, planting, etc. The extreme grades in the backyard created an opportunity to place the spa overlooking the pool. The unique grading situation also allowed the pool utilities to be built underneath the lawn in a vented room, hidden from view. Waterfalls in the pool and a water wall help to create a relaxing experience in the homeowner's backyard. This Project was awarded with a coveted Grand Award in Residential Installation $50,001 & Over by the Ohio Nursery & Landscape Association.

Looking down into the rotunda from the second-floor gallery of a Mediterranean estate remodel in Newport Coast. Square columns in a smooth finish rise the full two-story volume, framing the arched windows and French doors that open to the pool terrace. The overlook shows the geometry the main level is organized around — the rotunda at center, staircase sweeping the perimeter, and daylight reaching the entry from three sides. Finishes throughout by Coastline Builders Group.
