LANDMARK PHOTOGRAPHY

The rustle of sea grass, water lapping under the dock, the sound of birds calling each other over the crystal surface of a lake. These are the sights and sounds that Coastal Living Resort Dining brings to mind. Dining al fresco with family at a secluded lake house or in a glass enclosed sunroom; the feeling is the same – pure pleasure. Enjoying delicious fresh food in a casual yet sophisticated style. Choose club chairs, barstools, and side chairs with woven grasses for texture and fabric upholstery for comfort. Dining tables that are consistently inviting with artistic details that bring the reminder of life on the coast to every meal. Sideboards and buffets have plenty of storage for your serving pieces and dinnerware. A wealth of coastal inspired finishes from which to choose allows you to customize your entertainment and dining area to suit your needs and personality.

A guest house built by John Kraemer & Sons on Lake Minnetonka.

At the top of the hill, this Kensington home had modest beginnings as a “1940’s Ranchburger”, but with panoramic views of San Francisco to the west and Tilden Park to the east. Inspired by the Owner’s desire to realize the property’s potential and meet the needs of their creative family, our design approach started with a drive to connect common areas of the house with the outdoors. The flow of space from living, family, dining, and kitchen areas was reconfigured to open onto a new “wrap-around deck” in the rear yard. Special attention to space, light, and proportion led to raising the ceiling in the living/dining room creating a “great hall” at the center of the house. A new master bedroom suite, with private terrace and sitting room, was added upstairs under a butterfly roof that frames dramatic views on both sides of the house. A new gable over the entry for enhanced street presence. The eclectic mix of materials, forms, and saturated colors give the house a playful modern appeal.
