Edgewater Contemporary

From the moment you open the door of this contemporary custom apartment, you are drawn through the space to an expanse of glass and breathtaking views. One by one the rooms step back, revealing more and more of the large living area and Lake Calhoun beyond. The kitchen and living area are separated from the bedrooms by a series of receding slots of translucent glass that allow light and views to penetrate. Throughout this home every inch is carefully used, with a family office tucked into one nook and a loft bed in another. Abundant storage takes advantage of high ceilings. Custom maple plywood cabinetry fills the kitchen, which is defined not only by its horizontal lines and lively backsplash but also by a ceiling plane that makes the space a natural place to gather and cook. Rich colors, locally sourced and sustainable materials, and clean lines create a warm, livable contemporary home.
