The Lake House

Nestled on a quiet Miami lake, this home was designed as a serene retreat for a couple of doctors relocating from New York — a space to slow down and reconnect with nature.

The interiors mirror the tranquility of the water: clean architecture, layered neutrals, and natural textures that evoke quiet luxury. Every detail was chosen to feel timeless yet effortless — sculptural lighting, subtle stone surfaces, and custom detailing that celebrates craftsmanship without excess.

The result is a calm, grounded home that feels both contemporary and deeply personal — a true sanctuary by the water.
