Lake Shore Drive kitchen with walnut cabinetry, black marble, and warm brass details

Lake Shore DriveResidence

Fontana, on Geneva Lake

A home shaped through material, light, and continuity.

This traditional log home was reimagined with a contemporary mountain sensibility. Cabinetry with matched grain and soapstone waterfall counters bring warmth and precision to the kitchen, while concealed structural steel supports the island’s generous span.

Featured spaces: Kitchen, bar, primary bath, and custom cabinetry details
Materials: Walnut, soapstone, brass, black stone, and sculptural wood
Design focus: Precision cabinetry within a warm architectural setting

The kitchen

Warm walnut, resolved with architectural precision.

The kitchen balances the texture of the existing log home with finely matched cabinetry, integrated appliances, a generous island, and a strong relationship to the stone fireplace.

The details carry one idea from room to room.

Matched walnut grain

Cabinet faces align the wood grain across the composition, allowing integrated appliances and storage to read as one continuous surface.

A generous island span

Concealed structural steel supports the island while preserving a clean silhouette and ample room for gathering.

Material character beyond the kitchen

Sculptural wood, black stone, concrete, and brass carry the home’s grounded palette into the bar and primary bath.

Craft and private spaces

Details with weight, texture, and restraint.

The bar turns exposed wood grain into a sculptural feature. In the primary bath, black stone, warm walnut, brass, and a concrete soaking tub continue the home’s grounded material character.
