2. Open-Plan Home in Montana
The owners of this spectacular house has been visiting this area for decades and wanted to create a place to draw the generations of their family together, so they asked Pearson Design Group to create the home of their dreams.
A clever open-plan layout is key to maximizing the breathtaking lake views. As shown here, the kitchen is open to a living area with an oversized picture window facing directly out across the water. A deep recess around the window creates a generous window seat for lake gazing.
Just visible in this photo is an adjoining dining room that also has floor-to-ceiling windows to allow the views to take center stage.
Large windows also wrap around a corner of the main bedroom, providing beautiful panoramic views for the homeowners to wake up to, while a guesthouse benefits from both a balcony and a roof terrace from which to enjoy spectacular sunset views.

With its white villas, bougainvillea and pine-planted valleys overlooking the Mediterranean sea, the La Corniche Boulevard in Marseilles, France, is a dream location. When a family of four found this two-story 1930s building for sale, they jumped at the chance to own it.
They hired interior designer Chrystel Laporte of Un jour d’avril and landscape architect Élodie Wehrlen of Côté Outdoor to help them turn it into their dream home. Designer Laporte began the design process by listening closely to the owners’ desires and collecting inspirational photos to reflected their wishes. “These mood boards help me tailor the feel of the rooms throughout the project,” she says.
“I also paid attention to the home and looked at its plan in 2D. I always worked from the existing space and examined its lines of sight to create a surprise,” she says. As a former graphic artist, she’s always attuned to the best framing, as illustrated here with this tantalizing slice of sparkling Mediterranean sea on display in the main bedroom, which was previously a bathroom.
