This lakeside retreat is a comfortable getaway that harmonizes with its natural context. The home brings a fresh take on the vernacular architecture of the Adirondacks —pitched roofs, wood siding, and stone walls. Charred "Shou Sugi Ban” siding blends with the environment and maintains clean lines. From the street, the home appears as a modest, one-level gable roof home with minimal massing. When approached from the lakeside, the home ascends dramatically, mirroring the trees and terrain. Connection to the natural world continues inside the home through floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights.
