Detroit Lake, MN · Hospitality shaped by texture, warmth and the lake.
The project
Details that invite. Spaces that linger.
The Fireside renovation extended the welcome from the street to the dining room. Major facade updates, a covered approach to the entrance and outdoor dining improvements strengthened the restaurant’s connection to its Detroit Lake setting.
Inside, naturally patinated wrapped beams, reclaimed redwood walls and a cork feature wall imported from Europe create a richly layered atmosphere. Custom furniture and additional lighting shape comfortable places to gather, from intimate booths to lake-facing tables. The gallery explores both the larger spaces and the material details that give the restaurant its character.
