“We find it personally rewarding to work together as partners with the client.” stated Randy Thelen. “The objective in building this home was to create a spacious weekend and summertime retreat that could be enjoyed by an extended family. It has the appearance of a traditional estate combined with an interior reminiscent of a Northwoods lodge. The design includes large areas for gatherings and private areas to escape to. Though the home may appear like it’s been around for generations, the latest appliance, mechanical and technological upgrades make it truly a home of the 21st century.”
