Lakeside Drive Retreat

The Lakeside Drive Project was designed to feel elevated while still deeply personal. From the beginning, the focus was on architectural detail, natural light, and materials that felt right for a lakeside home. We handled the interior design while Hardwick General Contracting brought the vision to life through construction. The result is a home that feels timeless, warm, and truly reflective of the family who lives there.

A major focus of the design was creating brighter, more connected living spaces. In the living room, expansive windows, layered textures, and custom-built-ins helped bring in more light while still keeping warmth and character throughout the space. The staircase was designed to feel architectural and intentional, adding presence without overwhelming the home. In the kitchen, we balanced contrast and warmth through custom cabinetry, integrated storage, and a layout designed for gathering and entertaining.

Throughout the rest of the home, including the master suite and bathroom, two guest bathrooms, laundry room, wine cellar, and indoor gym, every space was designed to feel cohesive. The goal was balance: sophisticated but comfortable, curated but livable. 

We’re excited to share that the project, now known as Lakeside Drive Retreat, is part of this year’s Orlando Parade of Homes. https://paradeofhomesorlando.com/property/lake-sue-retreat/
