Bay Lake Cottage
Nor-Son designed and built a cozy Minnesota lake home that reflects the importance of family and the beauty of nature.
The unique woodwork found throughout the home represents the owners’ passion and poetically mirrors the northern forest where many of the species were originally harvested.
- HomeownersA northern Minnesota lake cottage with a focus on family.
Ascend a rising cherry staircase to the heart of this home: an expansive family room beneath a great vaulted ceiling. Nearby, bedrooms for the owners’ college-age daughters provide easy access to this intimate family space, while the more utilitarian living room and kitchen are on the first floor.
A celebration of master woodwork.
The owners, an accomplished amateur woodworker and his wife, also wanted to display the natural variation and beauty of various wood species throughout the home, but especially in the family room. Nor-Son brought the couple’s vision to life through details like a cherry staircase, vaulted ceilings finished in beaded alder, and re-sawn white pine timbers (reclaimed from a St. Paul, Minnesota railroad roundhouse).
Craft your comfort.
When you think of Nor-Son, we want you to think "comfort." Comfort in the warm glow of a fireplace. Comfort that helps patients heal. Comfort that makes you feel at home.
The comfort of knowing that Nor-Son listens carefully to you to create your dream.
