Bringing the Iowa Great Lakes Indoors

Imagine waking up to a gorgeous sunrise painting the water. With a custom-built haven on the Iowa Great Lakes, you can enjoy breathtaking beauty and vibrant energy. The question is, how do you bring that outdoor experience indoors? Our goal is to bring the essence of the lake right into your home with architectural features that blend indoors and outdoors.

Capturing the Beauty of the Lakes

Imagine stepping inside your lake house and being captivated by the view. Large windows frame Lake Okoboji's ever-changing tapestry, from sunsets to sunrises. With expansive floor-to-ceiling options, you can immerse yourself in your living, kitchen, and bedroom. It's time to get rid of compartmentalization. An open floor plan fosters a sense of spaciousness and togetherness throughout your home. You can prepare a meal in the kitchen while chatting with family and relaxing in the living room, all while enjoying the panoramic lake view. Everyone gets to enjoy the beauty of the surroundings through this seamless connection.

  • Captivating Lake Views: Large windows frame the beauty of any lake in the Spirit Lake area. Enjoy floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, kitchen, and even bedrooms.

  • Open Floor Plan Living: Ditch compartmentalized living! An open floor plan allows natural light to flow freely throughout your home.

  • Indoor-Outdoor Connection: Cook in the kitchen while chatting with friends and family in the living room, while everyone enjoys the panoramic lake view.

 
 

Expand Your Living Space with a Deck or Patio

You don't have to stay indoors to enjoy the lake. Expansive decks and patios seamlessly flow from the interior, creating an extension of your home. You can host a summer barbecue with guests moving effortlessly between the kitchen and deck, enjoying the breeze while staying connected to the party inside. The sliding glass doors will blend in with the wall, creating a seamless entertaining space.

It's More Than Just the Basics

Don't stop at the large windows, open floor plans, and inviting decks! Make your lake house experience even better with some additional architectural flourishes. Bay windows make cozy nooks for sipping coffee while watching the lake. By strategically placing skylights, you can add natural light and see the big blue sky, which enhances the feeling of openness and connection with nature. Multi-level decks are perfect for the ultimate view. On the upper level, you can see the full grandeur of the Iowa Great Lakes from a higher vantage point.

 
 
  • Cozy Corners: Incorporate charming bay windows to create nooks for enjoying the warm embrace of the Iowa Great Lakes.

  • Natural Light & Sky Views: Skylights strategically placed will ensure your home is flooded with natural light and will allow you to see the vast blue sky below.

  • Multi-Level Deck Beauty: Take lake views to new heights with a tiered deck system. The upper level offers an elevated vantage point, allowing you to witness the full grandeur of the Iowa Great Lakes.

The custom lake house you build will become more than just a place to look at the lake; it will become an extension of it. Imagine letting the lake serenade you from your deck, with the windows open and the breeze blowing. Living by the Iowa Great Lakes is lake living at its finest, a place where you can enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the lake every day.
