Nestled on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, the Bayside Residence is a modern-minimalist sanctuary designed for multi-generational gatherings. This seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom masterpiece seamlessly
integrates with its natural surroundings, leveraging the site's gentle descent to the water to create a home that feels both grounded and weightless.
A base of dark granite stone anchors the structure, while the upper levels — clad in open joint panels — appear to float, maximizing natural light and uninterrupted lake views. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls on the
first floor open to sheltered balconies, offering panoramic vistas of the bay and a seamless connection between the private backyard, lakefront, and a sunken interior courtyard—a striking focal point that blurs the
boundaries between indoors and out. Precision-aligned tiles and stone pavers further unify the design.
Beyond the residence, a large pool, covered patio, and expansive lawn create a luxurious outdoor retreat, providing a generous buffer between the home and the water's edge. Thoughtful kinetic elements, including
rotating and sliding louvers, not only enhance the sleek, contemporary aesthetic but also regulate sunlight, ensure privacy, and enrich the overall living experience.
