Alexander Design Group designed this beautiful contemporary home to capture the lake views, located on the shores of Cooks Bay, in Mound, Minnesota. Cooks Bay is one of many lakes and bays that make up Lake Minnetonka. Literally, one complete side of this dwelling is almost nothing but windows! A bright and open floor plan, a unique staircase, and multiple stone fireplaces are highlights of this incredibly stunning design.

Above: The kitchen cabinets are Walnut and the stain is a custom stain. The flooring is the same material, left natural. Over the dining table are the Sonneman Bubbles 1 Light Pendant in Polished Nickel, 8″ and 10″. The designers used a bunch of 1-light pendants and staggered their hanging height and position.
