This modern lake retreat in Okoboji, Iowa, was crafted as a serene retreat for a couple returning to their roots in this beloved resort community. The design embraces the site’s natural beauty with expansive windows that offer unobstructed views of West Okoboji Lake. Inside, the sun-filled retreat draws on the clients' mid-century modern collection, with colorful, iconic furniture and spaces thoughtfully designed for displaying art, books, and ceramics.
