Breuker Design-Build together with Kristina Crestin Design has renovated this stunning lake house situated on the North Shore of Massachusetts. This large-scale project entailed a complete reimagining of how to take a simple outdated home and breathe new life into it. The architect developed some modest additions that transformed the layout to fit this family’s busy life.

The interior design team developed a whole new trim package for the home that – along with the new materials, cabinetry, and lighting – redefined the feel of the home to become the clean, fresh waterside home they wanted.
