A Harmonious Blend of Eras

Nestled and hidden on the shores of Squam Lake, this renovation and addition project stands as a symbol of architectural dialogue between generations. The original structure, a 1960s Bauhaus-inspired gem, required a sensitive approach to accommodate the changing needs of a multi-generational family while preserving its mid-century modern essence. This home exemplifies a dedication to preserving historical integrity while seamlessly introducing modern living solutions.

Project Highlights:

  • Integration with Original Architecture: The addition complements the existing design, adding essential spaces without overshadowing the original structure’s character.
  • Contemporary Comforts: The upgrade introduces modern amenities like a new kitchen and master suite, interwoven with the home's historical charm.
  • Views and Spaces: Strategically placed windows enhance the connection to the tranquil lake and mountains, expanding the living experience.
