When the Burkes moved in the cedar sided house was painted forest green with white trim. With almost two acres of land that also needed attention, Burke saw the potential in this Lake Drive home. We wanted to stay true to the design of the home. However, techniques have changed. Jahns and the crew needed to make sure the foundation would support a tumbled marble floor in the bathroom.
Tumbled marble has a more natural appearance than a finished polished marble floor.
Entering the master bath, the breathtaking octagonal turret is framed by an archway and columns. The space explodes into an airy light-illed room with a 15 foot vaulted ceiling. The eight transom windows on each wall of the turret will display the changing seasons. They illuminate the tub area and provide natural light. Designer Sundstrom explained that it was unusual, but not impossible, to find the perfect Kohler whirlpool tub with a waterfall faucet that fit into the octagonal shaped turret.
