This craftsman-style shingle lake house was reimagined by Cummings Architecture + Interiors, perched on the edge of Lake Sunapee, in Newbury, New Hampshire. The property consisted of three dilapidated structures peeking through the towering pine trees surrounding the home.
The challenge for the architect was to create something that enhanced the natural surroundings without overshadowing the landscape. It was also integral to the design to adhere to the strict zoning regulations that come with waterfront construction.

The ground level of the main house is a spacious open concept that flows out to the stone patio area with a fire pit. Wood flooring and natural fir bead-board ceilings pay homage to the trees and rugged landscape that surround the home.
What We Love: This craftsman lake house provides a wonderful retreat for gathering with family and friends. The natural beauty that surrounds this dwelling offers a place of quiet solitude. Inside, the living spaces have been beautifully reimagined with a warm and inviting atmosphere that one would never wish to leave. We are loving this summer lakefront retreat that will offer lasting memories for generations to come.
