The Gehrings already had a beloved small lake house they used for weekends and family get-togethers—but when the time came to make it their full-time residence, they chose to expand rather than start from scratch.
Having previously worked with Mark Russell on their first home, they knew exactly who they wanted to manage this next chapter. His understanding of their style and needs made for a seamless build experience.

What We Love Most
The home is filled with character thanks to the creative integration of antique elements. Original doors, transom windows, ceiling fans, and cast iron return air vents were all repurposed to function beautifully within the new design.
