On the tranquil lake shore in Duvall, WA, a dilapidated cabin stood in stark contrast to the natural beauty surrounding it. The owners envisioned a space where modern living could blend effortlessly with the serene lakeside environment—a cottage that embraced its picturesque location while offering the comfort and functionality of a contemporary home. The Verum team took on the challenge, transforming the outdated structure into a breathtaking lake cottage. This custom home not only maximized the stunning views but also harmonized seamlessly with the landscape, creating a perfect retreat for relaxation and enjoyment.
Challenges:
When our clients first approached us, the cabin they had purchased was a far cry from their dream home. Structurally compromised from years of neglect, it did little to take advantage of its picturesque lakeside location. We were tasked with creating a space that not only solved these issues but also:
Our Approach:
After assessing the property and collaborating closely with the client and their design team, the best solution was to start fresh. The original structure was demolished, making way for a 1,750-square-foot custom-designed lake cottage, which embodied their vision for both comfort and style.
Open-Concept Living Space
At the heart of this cottage lies a spacious, open-concept kitchen and living area that capitalizes on the property’s lake views. We installed large windows that flood the space with natural light, highlighting the kitchen's modern appliances, elegant white cabinetry, and nature-inspired green tile backsplash. The minimalist palette of soft neutral tones, enhanced by pendant lighting, creates a bright and inviting atmosphere.
Cozy Living Room with Fireplace
The living room offers a perfect blend of modern and rustic elements. A white brick fireplace with a live edge wood mantel serves as the room's centerpiece, providing warmth and texture. Comfortable seating arrangements are designed around this focal point, while large sliding glass doors offer panoramic views and direct access to the lakeside deck.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Connection
We prioritized the connection between indoor and outdoor living by incorporating energy-efficient sliding glass doors that open onto an expansive deck. This space seamlessly merges the comforts of home with the tranquility of the lake, making it ideal for enjoying coffee at sunrise or unwinding as the sun sets.
Thoughtfully Designed Finishes
Every detail was carefully curated to reflect the clients' style while maintaining a welcoming, timeless appeal. From the farmhouse-style kitchen sink to the natural wood materials throughout, the finishes create a charming, cohesive aesthetic. The balance of traditional elements and modern functionality makes this cottage both practical and sophisticated.
