LIVINGSTON LAKEHOUSE

Located in Dutchess County in the Hudson Valley, the Livingston Lakehouse experienced a full renovation. Originally a 1980’s wood cabin with very small windows, we wanted to build a connection between the house and its gorgeous surroundings including a lake in the backyard. So, we changed the entire feel of the house by toning down the wood paneling and beams, introducing handmade tiles and bespoke millwork, and installing oversized windows in every room.

Every inch of the house was changed, and we never lost sight of our overarching theme to make the house feel better connected to the land with a modern but cozy theme. Maybe our favorite detail is the double sided sofa in the family room which faces both a custom “stick style” wall unit and a wall of windows overlooking the lake.
