The dwelling is situated on a beautifully landscaped corner lot, just minutes from the downtown core.

A compelling transformation, simply rejuvenated a 1980s residence, melding a coordinated blend of Scandinavian influence externally, and playful sophistication within.

The exterior creates an intimate connection with the locale by crafting a balance of neutral wood tones through the vertical siding of its scenic lake.

The interior palette layers hues of oyster and sand, weaving an organic visual continuation of the exterior, with its vertical lines and organic shapes.

The unique layout provides a flow ideal for cooking and entertaining, with the kitchen at the center, and all adjacent spaces — such as the built-in breakfast bar and the designated coffee station — branching from it.
