A Contemporary Take on Classic Lakeside Charm This chic blue shingle-style lake house reimagines the timeless stone-and-shingle cottages of the Northeast with a fresh, contemporary twist.
Location
Lake Geneva, Wisconsin
The rear of the home opens seamlessly to a poolside retreat, with a walkout basement and expansive glass walls that flood the interior with natural light and frame breathtaking lake views.
The main floor strikes a perfect balance—designed to feel expansive enough for entertaining large groups, yet cozy and welcoming for just two or three. A soaring double-story great room is anchored by a dramatic catwalk bridge that acts as a virtual ceiling, preserving the vaulted scale while creating a sense of human proportion.
At the heart of the home, a soaring double-story great room is crowned by a catwalk that connects the upper wings and offers continuous lakeside vistas through dormer windows.
This contemporary kitchen showcases a harmonious blend of modern design and natural warmth. At its center, a striking island with a marble countertop and bold geometric blue-and-black paneling serves as both a functional workspace and a visual focal point. Three sleek bar stools are neatly tucked beneath the island, inviting casual dining and conversation.
