Oscar Isberian Featured in Luxe Interiors: A Lakefront Haven Framed by Nature, Defined by Timeless Design

This lakefront residence, designed by Alexis Bednyak in collaboration with architects Greg Howe and Pam Lamaster-Millett, is perched on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. Framed by sweeping views and grounded by a neutral palette, the home is crafted to feel both timeless and comfortable.

A sense of drama is introduced at the entry, where a gated motor court gives way to uninterrupted lake views through expansive panes of glass. Natural materials, including cedar shingles, patinated zinc, and white oak, soften the contemporary lines of the structure. Inside, sculptural furnishings, durable finishes, and a calming color scheme allow the lake’s shifting tones to remain the focal point. Underfoot, a wool rug by Oscar Isberian Rugs adds texture and warmth to the main living space, complementing the home’s organic elegance.

Thoughtfully tailored to the needs of a young family, the interiors include practical moments of comfort, from a cigar patio to a lakeside fire pit. The result is a residence that balances refinement and livability, deeply connected to its setting.
