Artisan Tour 2020

This home began with an unusual site and a client that wanted to make the most of it. Throughout the process, our team worked collaboratively with the clients, design team, and various craftsman to find the best solutions and innovative applications. Every detail was carefully considered and developed to create an exceptional home.

Interiors with Stunning Views

With floor to ceiling glass and clerestory windows above, each window is a frame for the spectacular lake views. Careful selections for tile floors, wood bar tops, and walnut cabinetry throughout create a modern home that is warm and comforting.

Exquisite Details

Even the smallest of details was carefully developed with our craftsman and the design team. The finishing touches include a mesh railing with a walnut cap on the interior stairs, fossil stone at the fireplace, linear cabinet reveals and contemporary hardware, and more.
