Redstone Ridge Residence
Project Scope: New lakeside residence
Location: La Valle, Wisconsin
Designer: Holzhauer Partners
This luxury residence in the town of La Valle, Wisconsin has incredible views of Lake Redstone. What originally started as a neglected 45-year-old summer home has been transformed into a beautiful modern living space. The residence stands on the edge of a 50-foot granite cliff overlooking the lake and was designed and built on the original 40’ x 40’ dimensions of the original house. The Friede & Associates team was contacted by Holzhauer Partners due to our close proximity to the job site and the available subcontractor base. Plus, our decades of commercial construction experience would allow us to adhere to the project’s strict timeline.
The home's exterior is made of stone and prefinished LP SmartSide engineered wood siding, which is exceptionally durable. The main room's ceiling is 13 feet, 6 inches tall, with a new fireplace reaching up to the tall ceiling. The basement's wall was also raised by more than 12 inches to allow for a finished eight-foot ceiling.
The owner also requested a patio overlooking the lake. After inspecting the site, the landscaper informed the owner that the patio wouldn't be very large once a stone wall was added for privacy. Instead, Friede recommended the construction of four composite wood decks and poured cement walls. Two decks would be located on the back of the house and one on each side. In addition, Friede added a fourth lower deck that features a hot tub.
This project was recognized by the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of Wisconsin as a 2022 Gold Project of Distinction.
