New Construction

Over the years, we have had the opportunity to work with a lot of couples. But working for a couple of siblings was a first. This brother and sister approached us with the desire to create a home that would be shared between their two families. The property was purchased by their parents and has been a treasured destination for decades.


With a new house, the clients saw an opportunity to engage the lake and mountains on one side and the hills and forest on the other. Working with vernacular forms on either side of the living room, the building recalls the simple architectural character of the area while allowing the living room to feel like little more than an extension of the gardens on either side.​

Every set of clients brings its own duality to be navigated by the architectural team. In this case, that duality represented more than two sets of ideas—it represented two families. The house gave us an opportunity to respond to a broader set of ideas about what a shared home could mean. At once comforting and enclosing, it is also expansive and fresh.​

Unpainted wood paneling, modern light fixture, and massive accordion doors leading to the outdoor patio create a modern rustic twist on a traditional living room.
The kitchen features a high-contrast design with white paneled walls and cabinets, a matte gray kitchen island, and deep silver pendant lights, all part of an open-concept living space.
