Built-in Beds
Nothing says custom more than unique built-in beds in your lake home. Whether in a loft, bonus room, or kid’s bedrooms, the unique display of built-in beds adds a touch to your home that you would never see in a standard house. Guest quarters and small spaces are also fantastic places to add built-in beds.

High Ceilings
Open up your home with high and lofted ceilings creates both space and openness in your home. With a high ceiling, you can also add distinct looks like beams and grand light fixtures. High ceilings can be used throughout the home, entryways, living rooms, and even master bedrooms and bathrooms allow light to fill the space.

The custom details are endless with cabinetry.

Heated Flooring
A wonderful feature to add when building in southeastern Wisconsin is heated flooring. It is a luxurious extra to have for the cold winters, particularly in bathrooms and kitchens. The radiated heat coming up from under the cold tile warms your home with the flip of a switch.
