This beautiful modern dream house was custom designed as an architect’s personal family home by West Luxe Design + Build Firm, located in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin. The architect is the founder of the firm and was responsible for every detail, beginning with the construction drawings and finishing with the interior furnishings.
With a clear vision in mind, the architect was in search of the perfect property, discovering this idyllic 1.02 acres lot with a backdrop of woods. It had a challenging natural topography and a grade change for a walkout basement. The two-story dwelling encompasses 5,669 square feet of living space with five bedrooms and five bathrooms.
Above: The exterior facade has gorgeous curb appeal thanks to black and white accents on the roof and windowsills and warm wood siding that presents a traditional lakeside feel.
The goal for this dwelling was to create a “lake house meets modern” aesthetic. This was partially achieved through the application of light wood flooring by Duchateau and an abundance of windows from Lincoln Windows — providing plenty of natural light and views of the surrounding landscape.
Expansive walls of glazing flood the interiors with natural light, illuminating the high-end furnishings, relaxed material palette, and top-of-the-line finishes.
What We Love: This dream house designed as an architect’s personal family residence is a showcase of masterful design — from the brilliant exterior facade to the luminous interiors. We are loving so many details in this clean and modern home. The large walls of glazing with nature-filled views, stylish furnishings, a beautiful material palette, and an idyllic basement level for entertaining family and friends with lakeside access.
