In a pleasing echo of the main house, the guest house boasts a lower level that walks out to a wide patio, offering views of Lake Minnetonka and a shady, secluded spot for drinks or solo pursuits, reading, daydreaming or come what may. “The furnishings we used on the patio were selected based on linear silhouettes and the clean geometry of midcentury modernism,” Aniuska Payares says. “We selected neutral colors and materials, with wood tones and the use of stone for the coffee table, side table and fireplaces, adding different textures to the whole composition.” An upper-level deck has plenty of seating, too, and a clever awning that shades the space from the sometimes-harsh summer sun.
