Eskuche Design Group in collaboration with Hendel Homes has designed this family dream house that overlooks Pleasant Lake in Minnesota. The goal of this project was to create a highly functional home that has an approachable, down-to-earth vibe. Created for a family of five, this dwelling has five bedrooms and eight bathrooms with plenty of space to entertain and host large gatherings.

For the exterior facade, this home seamlessly marries Old-World style with modern functionality. Step inside, and you will find a casually elegant atmosphere, where clean, modern lines blend harmoniously with a beautiful blend of stone and metals.
