Lake Sallie, MN · A Lake Sallie home made for extended family, easy entertaining and life between indoors and out.
The project
Room for the whole family. Details that feel like home.
Sweet Home Sallie was designed around entertaining and time with extended family. Multiple double sliding patio doors connect the gathering spaces to the outdoors, while generous glazing brings the lake setting into daily life. Timber accents, rustic ceiling beams and boulder landscaping give the home a grounded, welcoming character.
The plan makes room for different kinds of togetherness: an open kitchen and living area, a lower-level bar and a garage gathering space. The primary suite balances that social energy with a generous shower and carefully considered finishes. From the lake-facing deck to the smaller details inside, the home is shaped for long visits and memories across generations.
