Residential design studio Charlie & Co. Design, Ltd., together with custom builders John Kraemer & Sons, have completed a new home on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota.
A key design element of the house, are the floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors that are featured on either side of the great room.
