Little Detroit Lake, MN · A richly detailed lakeside home with generous spaces for gathering indoors and out.
The project
Craft and comfort. Connected to the lake.
Timberstone Retreat brings together substantial woodwork, natural stone and a tall gathering room oriented toward the water. A full-height fireplace and ring chandelier establish the center of the interior, with dining, kitchen and lounge spaces arranged in a connected sequence.
The same material language continues outside through timber beams, stone piers and broad terraces. An outdoor kitchen, sheltered seating and views over the lawn extend daily life toward the lake. Carefully fitted cabinetry, private bedrooms and practical support spaces carry the attention to detail throughout the home.
