Streeter

Set into a sloping lakeside property in Wayzata, Minnesota, Bayside Residence by PKA Architecture is a modern family home, carefully designed to blend with its natural surroundings. The owners envisioned a home that seamlessly integrated with the landscape, providing a single-level daily living experience for themselves while also offering open, inviting spaces for family gatherings and extended visits with their grown children and grandchildren, year round.

Defined by two planes—a solid stone base and a lighter upper level—the residence balances durability with openness. Expansive glazing, shaded by operable louvres, connects indoor spaces to the lakefront and a landscaped central courtyard, allowing for natural light, ventilation, and seamless flow. Sheltered balconies offer expansive eastern views of the bay, while strategically planned landscaping links the backyard, courtyard, and waterfront.

Inside, a mix of warm timber accents and sleek finishes, paired with custom furniture and adaptable spaces, enhances the home’s functionality. Subtle details, such as an operable front door and a sky-lit powder room, add intrigue to its refined design. Bayside Residence harmonizes transparency, flexibility, and aesthetics, creating a perfect retreat for family connections and a tranquil waterfront lifestyle.
