Lakeside Sanctuary

A complete renovation of a compact lakeside residence, reimagined as a sophisticated, enveloping oasis. Designed for a client with a penchant for dark, modern aesthetics, the palette utilizes charred woods, matte blacks, and warm organic textures to ensure the home recedes, leaving the expansive lake views as the primary focus. Every design decision was curated to create a "modern sanctuary" feel—intimate, masculine, and deeply personal. To maximize the smaller footprint, we focused on architectural continuity and a moody, atmospheric ambiance that feels both grounded and expansive.
