Lake Effect
Oshkosh, WI
Main House 6,300 sf, 4 bed, 5 bath
Guest House 2,500 sf, 3 bed, 3 bath
Built in 1949, this home has been revitalized to suit its owners’ active family lifestyle while honoring its mid-century roots. A second-story addition introduces a spa-like primary suite with sweeping lake views, alongside the construction of a new contemporary guest house.
​
The reimagined floorplan opens the living spaces to maximize natural light and lake vistas. At its heart, the lake room connects to the kitchen, where an 11-ft concrete island serves as a central gathering space. White oak pivot doors conceal a generous pantry, combining functionality with minimalist design.
​
The guest house reinterprets mid-century architecture, preserving a cohesive aesthetic that ties it to the original home. A stucco-clad garden wall artfully unites the two structures and offers privacy.
