Photo Credit Landmark Photography. This house was designed to fit the shores of Lake Minnetonka’s Stubbs Bay. The exterior architecture has the feel of an old lake cottage home that’s been there for a century with modern day finishes. The interior has large Marvin windows with expansive views of the lake, walnut floors, extensive wood detailing in the custom cabinets, wainscot, beamed ceilings, and fireplace. Step out of the kitchen to a covered out door porch with phantom screens overlooking the lake. The master bedroom has a large private roof deck overlooking the lake as well. There is a private master bonus room accessed through the master closet. The four levels of the home are accessible by an elevator. The working butler’s pantry, which is accessible by both sides of the kitchen has a secondary sink, dishwasher, refrigerator, lots of storage, and yes windows for natural light, views of the lake, and air flow.

Old World European, Country Cottage. Three separate cottages make up this secluded village over looking a private lake in an old German, English, and French stone villa style. Hand scraped arched trusses, wide width random walnut plank flooring, distressed dark stained raised panel cabinetry, and hand carved moldings make these traditional farmhouse cottage buildings look like they have been here for 100s of years. Newly built of old materials, and old traditional building methods, including arched planked doors, leathered stone counter tops, stone entry, wrought iron straps, and metal beam straps. The Lake House is the first, a Tudor style cottage with a slate roof, 2 bedrooms, view filled living room open to the dining area, all overlooking the lake. The Carriage Home fills in when the kids come home to visit, and holds the garage for the whole idyllic village. This cottage features 2 bedrooms with on suite baths, a large open kitchen, and an warm, comfortable and inviting great room. All overlooking the lake. The third structure is the Wheel House, running a real wonderful old water wheel, and features a private suite upstairs, and a work space downstairs. All homes are slightly different in materials and color, including a few with old terra cotta roofing. Project Location: Ojai, California. Project designed by Maraya Interior Design. From their beautiful resort town of Ojai, they serve clients in Montecito, Hope Ranch, Malibu and Calabasas, across the tri-county area of Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles, south to Hidden Hills.

Our Aspen studio gave this home a bright, airy, soothing vibe with neutral palettes and thoughtful decor. Rather than use contrasting furnishings, we used neutral colors for the couches to elevate the relaxing vibe. In the dining room, we added yellow-green chairs that reflect the autumn colors outside. We also chose a stylish vintage pendant to spotlight the classic Brodmann piano in the living room. Statement lighting, elegant fabrics, and beautiful artwork create a calm, luxe environment filled with nature vibes.

This Pump Hill home is truly city living at its finest. From the custom exposed aggregate driveway and walkway, to the backlit stairs up to the front door no detail was overlooked in the construction of this home. The backyard features a custom 12 x 24 pool complete with an outdoor changeroom and shower. Whether the clients choose to lounge by the fireplace or sunbath on the suspended mahogany deck luxury awaits at every point of the yard. With an extensive outdoor kitchen and raised bar overlooking the yard this yard was made for entertaining. Photo credit: Jamen Rhodes
