This whole-house renovation was the third perennial design iteration for the owner in three decades. The first was a modest cabin. The second added a main level bedroom suite. The third, and most recent, reimagined the entire layout of the original cabin by relocating the kitchen, living , dining and guest/away spaces to prioritize views of a nearby glacial lake with minimal expansion. A vindfang (a functional interpretation of a Norwegian entry chamber) and cantilevered window bay were the only additions to transform this former cabin into an elegant year-round home.

This detail shot emphasizes the clean execution of our hardscape installations. By juxtaposing smooth, light concrete with dark basalt gravel and crisp metal edging, we create a modern, high-contrast aesthetic. Our design+build process prioritizes these technical transitions, ensuring that every joint and material shift is intentional. Even in a small corner of the master plan, the intentionality of the landscape architecture is evident, providing a low-maintenance yet high-impact foundation for the surrounding greenery.

Integrated shelving and straps organize mats and fitness accessories within a built-in system designed for daily use. The millwork prioritizes visibility, ease of access, and visual order, allowing functional equipment to remain part of a clean, architectural composition.

Precision in the details is a hallmark of our Explore+Design+Build philosophy. This top-down view highlights the clean intersection of smooth concrete, weathered steel, and vibrant turf.
