West Lake Mid-Century Modern Remodel

Lake Life Magazine, Summer 2018

When homeowner Craig & Lucy Davisson of Des Moines, Iowa were wanting to update and create an open floor plan in their mid-century modern lake home on West Okoboji, they reached out to local contractor, Mike & Susan Hoien, of Hoien Construction Services, LLC. Their goal for the remodel was to open up the kitchen to the great room and dining room to form one large area with panoramic views of the lake.

The home was remodeled true to its original mid-century modern style with simplified shapes, textures, forms and materials in a neutral color palette. The elements play off one another to create a calming cohesive composition that is unique to the vision of the homeowners.

From the moment you walk through the front door the homeowners vision is clear with the over-sized, modern tile floors and crisp white elements. The lighting fixtures are a simple white, but their unique shapes create a statement. Modern accents in fun pops of color against the neutral finishes and furniture create a playful feeling that pairs perfectly with the blue waters of West Lake as the centerpiece.

A white waterfall island is perfect for casual dining and entertaining friends and family at the lake. It is a beautiful contrast to the dark simple cabinetry of the completely remodeled kitchen.

Vintage chairs re-upholstered provide fun seating in the sun room that keeps the mid-century lake vibes flowing throughout the home. Sleek floating orange shelving draws the eye across the rooms and is the perfect perch for eclectic accessories.

Deep chocolate browns and a mirrored wall creates a luxurious feel in the master suite that flows into the sophisticated en suite. The smooth tiled walls pairs with the natural stone accent shower wall behind floor to ceiling stationary glass. The over-sized trough sink with chrome wall faucets are sleek and modern. From start to finish the home remodel by Hoien Construction Services, LLC creates a beautiful, unique, getaway from the city for the Davisson family.
