R.E. Hanpeter, AIA - Architect

Richard created a wonderful lake house for us completed almost 20 years ago. In craftsmen style using the Adirondack vernacular, it is regarded by neighbors as the most beautiful gem in the neighborhood. Innovative in engineering design, it has the feel of a seasonal cottage, but with an Alpine roof concealing the insulation it is warm and cozy on the coldest of winter days. In summer that same insulation keeps indoors at comfortable temperatures, even as climate change cause summer temperatures to climb, even at our moderately high elevation. All the while we worked on the design and construction, Richard was always attentive to our wishes and patient to a fault. In supervising the construction ,we could rely on his exquisitely detailed plans and specifications to produce what we wanted and envisioned with little in costs overruns . He’s just tops and a pleasure to work with even following up when after care was callied for.
