WINNER: Schulz Design + Build
Once a utilitarian boathouse, this underused structure was transformed into a glamorous lakeside speakeasy. Brass shelving, art deco patterns and moody finishes nod to Prohibition-era glam. With a bar that opens to the patio, this hidden gem invites cocktails, conversation and a touch of scandal—where design and indulgence meet beneath the surface.
