From Kids to Quiet
Traditional Porch, Boston
On the site of an old family summer cottage, nestled on a lake in upstate New York, rests this newly constructed year round residence. The house is designed for two, yet provides plenty of space for adult children and grandchildren to come and visit.

The public side of the house presents a subdued presence with a courtyard enclosed by three wings of the house.
