Whether it’s Lake Minnetonka, Lake Harriet, Lake of the Isles, or one of the many other hidden gems scattered across the Twin Cities metro, owning a home on a lake is something special. It’s not just about a house – it’s about a lifestyle. At Sicora Design/Build, we understand the unique needs of lake homeowners and know how to turn your existing property into the ideal space for year-round lakeside living.

Make the Most of the Water

For most lake homeowners, the goal of a remodel is clear: enjoy the water more. That means bigger windows on the lake side to capture stunning views, open floor plans that encourage indoor/outdoor living, and smart layouts that allow you to entertain with ease.

We see the outdoors not as an afterthought, but as an extension of your home. Large patio doors, covered decks, and integrated outdoor rooms help bring the inside out – and the outside in.

Thoughtful Design That Puts the Lake First

A lake home is different. It doesn’t need to shout, it just needs to frame the beauty that’s already there. Our approach is often bright, clean, and minimal, letting the natural surroundings shine. Whether you’re enjoying coffee at sunrise or hosting a summer party on the deck, your remodel should elevate your experience with the water.

Lake lots often have irregular shapes and unique challenges. That’s where a true design/build partner like Sicora comes in. We assess your site and help answer one of the most common questions we hear: Do I need to tear it down to get everything I want? Sometimes, the answer is yes – but often, there’s a good core to work with. Our site assessments give you a clear, professional recommendation on whether a renovation or a full rebuild is right for your vision and investment.

Outdoor Living, Year-Round Comfort

Living on a lake means more than just summer fun. We design homes that work through every Minnesota season. That could mean mudrooms and wet rooms for sandy feet, exterior showers, or fireplaces and cozy indoor seating for watching winter ice skaters glide across the bay.

We also coordinate closely with your landscaping team to ensure that hardscaping, grading, and outdoor features flow seamlessly with your remodel. Whether it’s stone pathways, lakeside patios, or lighting, we’ll work as one team to create a unified, functional design.

Your Lake Life, Elevated

A lake home deserves more than a cookie-cutter remodel. It deserves a plan built around your lifestyle, your lot, and your vision. Whether you live on the water full time or seasonally, Sicora Design/Build brings deep experience, creativity, and practical knowledge to every lakefront project.

Let’s build something that celebrates why you bought this property in the first place.
