The client approached us with a clear vision: to design a lakeside home that felt like a permanent escape. They wanted a space where their family could unwind year-round, far from the demands of city life, but without compromising on sophistication or function.
The goal was to create a sanctuary — one that celebrated nature, embraced slow living, and encouraged meaningful moments, whether hosting guests or enjoying quiet mornings alone.
The architecture of the home was bold and modern, defined by large glass panels and geometric forms that opened up to lake views. While striking, this presented several design challenges:
Another key consideration was durability — the materials and furnishings needed to withstand seasonal changes and regular use without losing their tactile charm.
We began by anchoring the entire palette in nature. From the floors to the fixtures, every element was selected to echo the tones and textures found just beyond the windows — sandy beiges, earthy browns, misty greys, and soft whites. Wide-plank oak flooring runs throughout the home, offering warmth and continuity, while handmade ceramics, natural linen upholstery, and stone finishes introduce quiet texture.
To enhance the sense of flow, we maintained a minimalist approach to furnishings — each piece was carefully chosen for its function and form, with enough breathing room to allow the architecture and views to take center stage. Large, low-profile sofas invite long conversations, while custom-built storage keeps visual clutter to a minimum.
Zoning was achieved through subtle architectural cues and layered lighting. A sunken reading nook offers solitude with lake views, while the open kitchen merges seamlessly with a dining space designed for extended family dinners. In the primary bedroom, sheer curtains diffuse morning light, and the ensuite features a freestanding tub with uninterrupted water views — the very definition of calm.
Lakeside Residence is more than a beautiful home — it’s an experience. It feels expansive yet sheltered, elevated yet grounded. Every material was selected not just for its look, but for the feeling it evokes: softness, stillness, ease. Whether used as a retreat, a workspace, or a gathering place, the home adapts effortlessly to the family's needs, while always maintaining a sense of quiet luxury.
The final design speaks not only to the client's original vision, but to something deeper — a lifestyle rooted in simplicity, balance, and connection to place.
