Nestled on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, this thoughtfully designed addition to a charming Craftsman cottage is poised for construction, blending modern functionality with timeless lakeside appeal. The project introduces a new entertainment space that seamlessly connects to the outdoors through a gracious lakeside porch, inviting gatherings with stunning water views. Additionally, the expansion includes a luxurious bedroom ensuite and a dedicated golf room, catering to both relaxation and recreation. A sunlit breezeway serves as the design’s centerpiece, artfully separating yet connecting the addition to the original home, preserving the cottage’s intimate scale while enhancing its livability with airy, light-filled spaces.

​

The design strategy prioritizes harmony with the existing architecture, ensuring the addition feels like a natural extension of the Craftsman aesthetic. By incorporating high-quality materials and careful detailing, the project respects the cottage’s heritage while introducing contemporary comforts. The lakeside porch and breezeway not only enhance indoor-outdoor flow but also capture the essence of Lake Minnetonka living, making this addition a perfect balance of elegance, utility, and connection to nature.
