DERRY, NH
Description:
What problem did the client want to solve with the project?
They inherited an old seasonal family lakeside camp that was extremely outdated and very cramped. The existing deck that overlooked the lake was also in very rough shape.
How did you solve the problem?
- Made the house usable year round
- Opened up much of the living space to bring in natural light and add space
- Built a brand new composite deck with low voltage lighting
Project Details:
Situated on a beautiful freshwater pond in southern New Hampshire, this Lakeside Camp Turned Cozy Home was a complete remodel. Passed down to the next generation and now a shared family lake house, improving functionality and views of the water were at the center of this design.
On the top level, we increased the total footprint to allow for two lakeside primary bedrooms (not shown in pictures). The lower level showcased an open concept kitchen, dining and living room with large windows that overlooked the water. An eye-catching detail, we repurposed an original wood beam for the fireplace mantle.
Featuring warm neutral tones throughout, the overall aesthetic was a natural and cozy feel. The exterior design incorporated darker decking, siding and trim work to better blend into the landscape.
- Scope: two level, interior/exterior/sitework full whole home remodel
