With over 400 feet of natural beachfront and a secluded shoreline, this home was designed to embrace its wooded surroundings while honoring traditional shingle-style architecture through a contemporary lens. The original 1960s structure on the site was replaced with a new home, oriented almost identically, to preserve existing sightlines and minimize disruption to the landscape. Very few trees were removed in the process, and the design sought to work with the topography rather than impose on it.

The architectural language blends classic New England elements like layered rooflines, expressive bracketing, and tapered columns with modern detailing and local materials. A subtle yet deliberate hierarchy of forms allows the house to sit comfortably within its forested setting, while large windows throughout the home frame curated views to the lake. The living room anchors the visual axis to a pre-existing footpath that leads to the water, serving as a skillful design detail that connects the built and natural environments.

One standout feature is the bridge-like connector between the main home and three-car garage, a nod to traditional New Hampshire covered bridges. Live-edge wood siding and tapered stone supports reinforce this architectural idea while cleverly serving as outdoor wood storage.

The connector is designed to be experienced physically, as visitors walk beneath and through it, encountering the home in layers.

Additional architectural features include a custom cantilevered floating stair, white oak floors and millwork, motorized porch
window screens, and a private primary suite deck. The basement also consists of leisure and functional spaces such as a home gym, sauna, office, and provisions for a future lap pool.
