Victorian Grand Cottage by Lakes and Downtown!
Renowned architect Geoffrey Warner was featured in Garage Reinvented by converting a quaint Victorian home into this stylish, innovative design. This was realized by literally bridging the original Icehouse of Lake Calhoun to a newer addition by a mahogany bridge that pours natural light into the living room from upper level skylights. Indeed, its a unique place that is on the scheduling short list with HGTV's House Hunters!
