Old-soul character.<br><em>A new lakeside chapter.</em>
Lake Maud, MN · Farmhouse warmth and cottage color come together on Lake Maud.
The project
A familiar foundation. A fresh point of view.
At Lake Maud, the original structure was removed while its existing basement was retained as the starting point for a new home. The design brings together the familiar character of a farmhouse and the relaxed personality of a lake cottage.
Shiplap walls, a wood-lined vault and black-framed windows set a warm, expressive tone. Blue tile, painted cabinetry and colorful furnishings give the interiors a distinctive rhythm. A lakeside primary bedroom and an elevated outdoor deck keep the water close, while the open kitchen, dining and living spaces make gathering feel natural.
