CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE HOUSE AND ITS SURROUNDINGS?
The house faces a beautiful lake and has wonderful views out of tall vaulted windows the entire length of the home. Its remote location promotes a relaxing environment through a winding path that leads up to the main house.
WHY DID THE OWNERS CALL ON YOUR SERVICES?
As a couple with two young sons, they built this place as a peaceful, easily accessible retreat and they felt the interior needed to reflect their modern lifestyle. As it was intended as a place for extended family and friends to come and stay, it was also important to make it feel warm and welcoming.
HOW INVOLVED WERE THE OWNERS IN THE DESIGN PROCESS?
