INTERNATIONAL PROJECT
1

Lake Brome Residence was first inspired by a large , outdoor , covered terrace where the family could live immersed in nature . The single-level dwelling , designed with floor to ceiling windows , takes full advantage of the sweeping lakeside views and surrounding mountainous landscape .

Kastella ’ s mandate ranged from integrated millwork to custom furniture production . The Lake Brome Residence was an inspiring and demanding project that took over a year to plan and complete . The design-savvy clients selected walnut with a water-based finish as the primary , interior material . The warm , caramel tones of the panelled walls and integrated case goods added depth and character to the new construction .

The gradually undulating roofs are supported by a solid timber structure , a tasteful element that brings together the diffuse elements of the design . Between the roof and the freestone masonry walls is an intentional space where clerestory windows let in additional light . Rich woods and the dark stone create moody contrasts throughout .
The wing facing the lake is very open , with lines of sight running through the entirety of the living spaces .
