The overall design objective was to take advantage of every opportunity to experience the beauty of the lake, while providing all the comforts and conveniences of a modern luxury home. The steep, narrow site and its proximity to the lake presented many challenges during construction. The main living area focuses on entertaining family & guests, and includes a dining area with wet bar, study/guest room with guest bath and a gourmet kitchen. Custom cabinetry and built-ins throughout the house add a traditional touch and fill a practical storage need. The master bedroom has its own balcony view of the lake, while the lake level features a sauna, wine cellar and the soothing sounds of the lake lapping at the edge of a stone patio.

This compact tack room combines practical equestrian storage with the comfort of a private country lounge. Warm knotty-pine walls wrap the space, while black-trimmed casement windows frame views of the paddock and provide cross-light from two directions. Saddles, bridles, and riding equipment are displayed as functional objects against the wood, balanced by a deep green tufted-leather sofa, a traditional patterned rug, and a slender floor lamp. The red herringbone brick floor extends the barn’s durable material language indoors, while burgundy and cream pillows add controlled color accents to the green, amber, and brown palette. The style mixes rustic utility, English country-house comfort, and classic sporting-club character. The soft furnishings and richly patinated materials make the room feel personal and lived-in—a warm place to pause, prepare, and reconnect after a ride.

This minimalist dressing hall or mudroom transforms a practical circulation space into a carefully composed interior. Full-height white cabinetry is integrated seamlessly along one wall, providing generous concealed storage while preserving the room’s visual calm. Opposite it, a deep built-in bench is carved into the wall, creating a simple architectural niche for sitting and removing shoes. Pale oak flooring introduces warmth and leads the eye toward a framed photograph at the end of the passage, turning the corridor into a small gallery. A pair of vintage wood chairs and a hat displayed on the wall add character, craftsmanship, and a relaxed human presence to the otherwise crisp composition. A slender black ceiling fixture provides a graphic counterpoint and soft directional illumination. The space combines contemporary minimalism with Scandinavian restraint and subtle farmhouse references. The smooth cabinetry feels orderly and serene, while the worn leather, natural wood, and personal objects make the experience feel welcoming, familiar, and comfortably lived-in.

The objective was to renovate the kitchen in order to create more space for a family that enjoys spending quality time in this area. The homeowners were seeking a design that would allow them to actively participate in conversations while tending to their tasks behind the kitchen island. One member of the family enjoys cooking, while the other has a passion for baking. The challenge was to create a space where everyone could work together, engage in social interactions, and maintain a clutter-free and minimalist kitchen environment. The requirements included ample storage, a display area for their cherished China collection acquired during their years of world travel, easy cleaning and low maintenance features, as well as practicality.
To meet the clients' needs, it was necessary to reconfigure the existing layout. Removing the old butler's pantry opened up the space considerably. The use of pocket doors allowed for the kitchen to function with distinct working stations, while still maintaining an open plan. This design enables the family to cook and engage with each other simultaneously. The incorporation of two islands provides ample countertop space and various work zones, ensuring that there is enough room for everyone to work comfortably.
Careful material selection was made to ensure minimal maintenance and easy cleaning, while still imparting a luxurious and elegant ambiance. The addition of LED lighting details not only sets the mood but also adds an impressive element to this sophisticated and practical kitchen.
The end result is a spacious, practical, clean, and low-maintenance kitchen. There is an abundance of storage, and the design ensures that everyone can coexist harmoniously.
In summary, this kitchen renovation successfully combines luxury, practicality, and comfort into one cohesive space.
