Life Is Better At The Lake

Project Scope: Full Home Renovation
Location: Lake Goodwin, Washington

Design + Styling: Common Formme
Builder: Common Built
Photographer: Sumaira Amber

CONCEPT

The Life Is Better at the Lake project transforms a closed-off layout into an open, connected space centered on lake living. Removing the two-story fireplace and adding a large accordion door created a light, contemporary retreat—warm, organic, and effortlessly blending indoor comfort with the beauty of the outdoors.
