Gorgeous home in Prosper designed by Nicole Arnold Interiors. Color-rich family room, sophisticated dining, golf-enthusiast's study, tranquil master bedroom and bath were all a part of this beautiful update. An inviting guest bedroom and striking powder bath added to the scope of this project.

la priorité est donnée aux vues exceptionnelles qui "habillent" l'appartement.

Pour cet appartement de 40m², arkala a pris un parti pris fou : installer une chambre dans l’ancienne salle de bain afin de préserver une pièce à vivre spacieuse et agréable de 25m². Une gageure pour un appartement des années 30' très bien conçu et distribué pour un deux pièces. Ainsi l’entrée avec dressing, la cuisine, le WC, le salle d’eau et la chambre, sont rassemblées dans les 15m² restant ! La douche est calée dans les anciens WC, la salle d’eau et le WC sont dans l’ancien couloir de distribution : ces petits espaces ont été optimisés et ne sacrifient rien aux fonctions techniques qui sont pensées de façon ergonomique. L’espace nuit est conçu comme un lit clos tapissé de bois de bouleau pour un confort cosy, sans oublier l’éclairage indirect et direct pour la lecture et la possibilité de rangements en dessous du podium et une niche sous la fenêtre. La pièce de séjour est magnifiée par la pose d’un panoramique végétal et exotique « Le Brésil » reproduction d’un papier peint de la Manufacture Desfossé de 1862 !

La pièce de vie avec ses différents espaces : cuisine semi-ouverte, coin dînatoire, et salon donnant sur l’entrée colorée, une belle harmonie de couleurs parmi tout ce blanc.

The stacked stone fireplace surround is the focal point for this family room....and rightfully so...it is gorgeous. Also flanking the fireplace are built in cabinets, perfect for storing favorite books, games, DVD's and, of course, a smart TV. A great set-up for summer guests at the beach!

The owners requested a Private Resort that catered to their love for entertaining friends and family, a place where 2 people would feel just as comfortable as 42. Located on the western edge of a Wisconsin lake, the site provides a range of natural ecosystems from forest to prairie to water, allowing the building to have a more complex relationship with the lake - not merely creating large unencumbered views in that direction. The gently sloping site to the lake is atypical in many ways to most lakeside lots - as its main trajectory is not directly to the lake views - allowing for focus to be pushed in other directions such as a courtyard and into a nearby forest. The biggest challenge was accommodating the large scale gathering spaces, while not overwhelming the natural setting with a single massive structure. Our solution was found in breaking down the scale of the project into digestible pieces and organizing them in a Camp-like collection of elements: - Main Lodge: Providing the proper entry to the Camp and a Mess Hall - Bunk House: A communal sleeping area and social space. - Party Barn: An entertainment facility that opens directly on to a swimming pool & outdoor room. - Guest Cottages: A series of smaller guest quarters. - Private Quarters: The owners private space that directly links to the Main Lodge. These elements are joined by a series green roof connectors, that merge with the landscape and allow the out buildings to retain their own identity. This Camp feel was further magnified through the materiality - specifically the use of Doug Fir, creating a modern Northwoods setting that is warm and inviting. The use of local limestone and poured concrete walls ground the buildings to the sloping site and serve as a cradle for the wood volumes that rest gently on them. The connections between these materials provided an opportunity to add a delicate reading to the spaces and re-enforce the camp aesthetic. The oscillation between large communal spaces and private, intimate zones is explored on the interior and in the outdoor rooms. From the large courtyard to the private balcony - accommodating a variety of opportunities to engage the landscape was at the heart of the concept.
