Pelican Lake, MN · An inviting lower level with space to play, unwind and come in from the lake.
The project
A lower level. A fuller family life.
Lake Level Lounge turns an unfinished basement into a family gathering place on Pelican Lake. The plan works with the existing structure and ceiling heights, using low built-ins and wood-wrapped columns to define spaces while keeping them connected.
Deep blue-green cabinetry organizes games, books and toys around an open recreation area. A fireplace adds a comfortable focal point, a practical entry keeps lake-day equipment close at hand, and a detailed bathroom pairs patterned tile with a round mirror and warm metal accents.
