ABOVE & PREVIOUS PAGES: The Forever Estate on Lake Minnetonka was
designed for making memories for a lifetime. By combining design
elements from French provincial and countryside cottage architecture,
Nor-Son's team created a distinctive home that will stand the test of time.
While limestone is a typical exterior material, Nor-Son repurposed its
application, as each stone has a unique shape, molded into custom and
intricate design details. The pool area perfectly frames a breathtaking
view of Lake Minnetonka, as it also serves as an outdoor focal point. A
30-foot span from the living room further frames the view, offering access
to the pool as it features a phantom screen that offers protection from
insects and high winds.

RIGHT: A coffered ceiling with a subtle arch gives the music room a warm,
yet luxurious feel. A transitional chandelier punctuates the space's elegant
gray hues, as does the glass wall of windows facing the lake.

FACING PAGE: The infinity symbol was incorporated into the home's
design to further illustrate the "forever home" idea. The symbol
subtly appears in the custom iron stair rail and can also be found
throughout the home in the master bath tile and pool area.
