WATER'S EDGE

new build

Lake Geneva has been part of our clients’ story for as long as they can remember, making this a deeply personal lakefront new build project from beginning to end. The land itself carries a history of its own with an unusually long shoreline. The vision was to turn this property into a luxuriously warm, modern gathering place for the family’s personal enjoyment, while respecting the natural surroundings.

The architecture is organic yet structured, with materials native to the region grounding every surface, custom steel-fabricated windows and doors, and four individually designed staircases. Lighting added the expressive layer with sculptural works of art. A dream this long in the making deserved every detail we gave it.

"After more than 40 years of building custom homes, I’ve learned that the best collaborations come from designers who truly challenge you. Marianna is one of those rare talents. She has an exceptional eye for materials and texture — whether it’s a dramatic formed concrete wall anchoring a stone fireplace or the precise interplay of mitered wood paneling against hand-hewn beam work that gives a space genuine architectural weight.”

Every object here survived because someone refused to rush the first pass. That's what craftsmanship actually is, a decision rather than a finish, made once, correctly, by someone with the patience to do it properly. Cornicing nobody hurried. A pattern made stitch by stitch. A tack room that assumes you already know what you're looking at.

The eighteenth century understood something we're still relearning: ornament is a form of discipline, not decoration for its own sake. That's the instinct behind this palette, this pairing, this whole quiet insistence on doing it right.
