Alexander Design Group has designed this gorgeous lake house, a blend of rustic and contemporary styling located on Christmas Lake, a lake in the suburbs of western Minneapolis, Minnesota. Offering fabulous curb appeal, this home’s front facade is more private and reserved, completely opening up at the rear of the home with an abundance of windows.
On the main level, floor-to-ceiling windows in the great room frame flood the interiors with natural light while framing idyllic views of the lake. A captivating mix of wood, stone, and metal makes this 6,500 square foot dwelling truly remarkable. Continue below to see the inside of this contemporary masterpiece.

Project Goals: Create a home for the family to retreat into. Both homeowners worked demanding jobs and wanted a space that they could relax and enjoy time with their family. Their children had just moved out of the house and they wanted to make sure they had a “destination” spot for the children to return to.
Client Vision: Rustic Modern. Warm, natural materials and a connection to the exterior. They wanted the home to feel good when entertaining 20 people as well as when it was just the two of them.
What We Love: This rustic contemporary lake house offers striking and bold design details throughout. Picturesque views, fresh finishes, and modern conveniences make this dwelling one-of-a-kind. We are especially loving the bright and airy living room with its stylish furnishings, vaulted ceiling, and expansive windows flooded with natural light and marvelous views.
