Site Plan

Some New Keuka Cottages

Keuka Lake, New York

The small house is located on a lot that offers a nice view to the southeast down the length of the lake. The lot was bisected by a stream which was merely an eroded ditch. The best site for the house was in the path of the stream so we decided to move and improve it such that it became an attractive feature of the landscape. The house will be entered by crossing a bridge over the new stream bed.

The Fly-In Fly-Out Timber Frame Lodge

This home is built alongside a small airport to allow the owner to walk to his airplane hanger. The walls and windows provide an extra measure of sound control to help keep the house peaceful inside. The house is organized around two large spaces. The soaring great room is framed by reclaimed white oak timbers and features nice views of the runway. Big game trophies have a home in a sixteen foot high, thirty foot long paneled trophy room.

A Rugged Ranch House

Mendon, New York

After trying for many years to make a house in a suburban development feel like home, Barb and Charlie have purchased a park-like parcel of land with a pond with the intent of building a house that is comfortable, casual and different. The house will feature an open floor plan for good entertainment flow and lots of windows to view the property. Wood will be featured inside and out to give the house warmth and character.

A New Arts & Crafts Bungalow

Perinton, New York

This design visits a successful residential style that features a gracious front porch. The rear of the house has an open floor plan with a great room, kitchen and screen porch facing south and east to wetlands. A walk-out terrace level adds family room and exercise space for an active family.

The Book End Addition

Seneca Lake, New York

To meet the needs of the client for a vacation and future retirement house, we matched the existing house with an addition of a similar size. Centered between the old and the new is a new vaulted street and lake entry. The existing wing will house the away spaces and kid's realm and the new wing contains the entertainment spaces, kitchen and parent's office and bedroom.

Water on Three Sides

Mantoloking, New Jersey

Our client, Don, couldn't pass up purchasing the building lot on a peninsula in the inter-coastal waterway. He envisioned sitting in a five sided timber great room at the point of the peninsula and watching the boats drive by. We helped Don attach a four bedroom home to his room and helped him meet the challenges of coastal building code requirements.

A Hillside Canandaigua Lake House

A three-story "upside down" house with the top floor featuring cathedral ceilings for the living room, kitchen, dining room and master bedroom all at grade level at the rear. The middle floor will hold the guest quarters and a familty room. All three levels will be connected by an elevator and elegant stairs.
