project golden hour
At Candace Plotz Design, every project is a journey—one that takes us deep into the heart of what makes a house truly feel like home. Our latest endeavor, the Golden Hour Project, recently featured in Style at Home magazine, is a testament to this belief. From the initial vision to the final touches, this custom home build was a labor of love, brimming with carefully curated details, stunning lake views, and the warmth of collaboration with our incredible clients.
the vision: a home built into nature
Nestled into the side of a hill, the Golden Hour Project was a unique challenge from the start. Initially, we envisioned a renovation, but as we delved deeper, it became clear that a complete tear-down and rebuild was necessary to bring the full potential of this lakeside gem to life. The site itself presented an opportunity to craft a home that not only stood out architecturally but also harmonized with its surroundings. Every window, every angle was designed to capture the breathtaking views of the lake, creating a seamless connection between the interior spaces and the natural beauty just outside.
custom craftsmanship: the heart of the home
This home is a true reflection of bespoke design. From custom furniture pieces to thoughtfully selected décor, every element was chosen with care to enhance the aesthetic and functional aspects of the space. The two indoor kitchens, each with its own personality and purpose, serve as both the heart of the home and the perfect backdrop for gatherings. An outdoor kitchen extends the entertaining space, allowing the homeowners to fully embrace the beauty of the golden hour—those magical moments when the sun sets and the lake glows with warm, golden light.
The in-home spa, complete with a cedar sauna, offers a sanctuary of relaxation. It’s a space where our clients can unwind, surrounded by the materials and textures that bring a sense of peace and tranquility. The lower level of the home is designed to be a haven for guests, ensuring that every stay is as comfortable and luxurious as possible.
collaboration and love
What made the Golden Hour Project truly special was the deep trust our clients placed in our design team. From the beginning, they entrusted us with their vision, allowing us the creative freedom to explore and execute ideas that pushed the boundaries of design. This level of trust made the entire process smoother and more collaborative, enabling us to make informed decisions quickly and confidently.
When clients believe in the expertise and vision of their design team, it opens the door to creativity and innovation. It allows us to focus on what we do best—crafting a space that is not only beautiful but also perfectly tailored to their lifestyle. This trust was the foundation upon which the Golden Hour Project was built, and it was key to achieving a result that exceeded expectations.
tailored homes: where vision meets design
The Golden Hour Project stands as a shining example of what can be achieved when creativity and collaboration come together. It’s a home that reflects not just the golden hues of sunset but the golden touch of thoughtful design. As we look to the future, we’re excited to bring this same level of care and detail to our upcoming projects, continuing to create spaces that our clients will love to call home.
