Situated on the shore of newfound lake in central new hampshire, this outdoor retreat looks west over the spring fed waters toward the mountains beyond. Our design intent was to provide the homeowners with a viewing perspective that captured the feel of lakefront living. The fire pit terrace, situated on a plane aligned with the home’s main floor, uses native granite from a nearby quarry to create a refined campfire retreat. This carefully calculated elevation makes the upper plateau appear to jut out into the lake. A quick walk down a grass path with granite lawn treads brings us to a private beach for lounging and water access. Transitioning from refined to rustic successfully makes the landscape feel cohesive and inviting.

Lakefront living is not often luxurious and conscious of size. The “Emmett” design achieves both of these goals in style. Despite being ideal for a narrow waterfront lot, this home leaves nothing wanting, offering homeowners three full floors of modern living. Dining, kitchen, and living areas flank the outdoor patio space, while three bedrooms plus a master suite are located on the upper level. The lower level provides additional gathering space and a bunk room, as well as a “beach bath” with walkout access to the lake.

This closet is designed to allow guests to use it when they are there, but also to provide storage for the homeowners. Features include clothing rods for hanging clothes, open shelving for clothing and shoes, a cabinet with doors above, and enclosed storage below for anything from linens to towels and guest articles. We used the whole area by designing a blind corner, still providing access for infrequently used items. The homeowner also wanted a strong counter top for suitcases to be unloaded and to be used as a seat while dressing if needed. We put in a 1 inch thick top, providing a rich look and strength.

The Ross Peak Entry Wall is an art instillation, reflecting the natural elements surrounding the Ross Peak Residence. Brass patinated tree silhouettes are woven in front of custom perforated designed clouds, installed over acoustical backer panels. Hidden in the wall is a concealed passage door that continues the tree silhouettes, providing easy access to additional rooms while not compromising the entry wall design. Attached to the wall is the Floating Bench – the perfect addition as a functional, yet artistic entry way.
