The seamless blend of form and function creates a relaxed, light-filled retreat that enhances everyday living and celebrates its beautiful surroundings.

Step inside and experience exceptional cross ventilation that enhances comfort year-round. From the entry, stairs lead you into a stunning open-plan space beneath a large raked ceiling, where the client’s vision of having the kitchen as the heart of the home truly comes to life. Flowing seamlessly to the north-facing deck, the home captures all-day sun and offers breath taking views of the lake — the perfect balance of design, lifestyle, and natural beauty.

At the client's request, a striking eastern-facing modern sunroom was integrated into the design to capture the morning light and create a calm, sun-drenched retreat. The exterior features bold steel elements, a nod to the client’s profession as a boilermaker and his passion for materiality. Despite the industrial touches, the overall design stays true to a light, coastal aesthetic — balancing strength and structure with softness and serenity.
