Lead, South Dakota · Updated interiors. The same sense of escape.
The project
Room to unwind. A place to return.
Set in the Black Hills near Lead, Basecamp began with a complete interior remodel and a lighter touch outside. Painted walls and updated finishes brought a fresh, cohesive feel to a home surrounded by trees and open views.
Inside, dark kitchen cabinetry, warm seating and a stone fireplace give the shared spaces a welcoming character. Refreshed bedrooms and bathrooms offer quieter places to retreat, while the porch and deck keep the outdoors close. The result is a renewed home for settling in after a day in the Hills.
