Info
After renovating their Edina home, Ginny’s clients commissioned her to create a weekend retreat that would be as accommodating as their primary residence. The couple had purchased a piece of land on Lotus Lake in Dresser, Wisconsin that was protected from encroachment by state-owned forest adjacent to their lot.
Ginny created a modern lake home that embraces the warmth of cabin living and the convenience of year round living. The building reflects the clients’ love of symmetry as well as Ginny’s desire to incorporate asymmetrical forms that attract the eye and surprise the viewer. On the lakeside of the home, a large screen porch with a gently sloping inverted flat metal roof and a large pergola offers just such joy to the eye.
The separate garage and bunkhouse provide guests with completely independent quarters where they can enjoy their time away from everyday life.
