A historic lake house retreat in Colorado gets a remarkable transformation

Munn Architecture in collaboration with Kaleidoscope Design has rehabilitated this historic lake house retreat that was originally built in the early 1900s, nested along the serene shores of Grand Lake, Colorado. The project team re-examined the footprint of the home and either added or reconfigured it. The owners of this lakeside getaway home are a young family with generational ties to Grand Lake.

They wanted to have full use of their investment, which meant modernizing and winterizing this formerly summer-only cabin, all while preserving its vibrant historic nature. The project included the demolition of an old and insufficient garage and replaced it with a functional double garage with new above-garage living quarters that encompass a gathering space, bunkroom, and an additional bedroom.

The primary goal was to preserve the exceptional historic quality of this slab-bark-style home, indicative of the original Adirondack-style camps that were prevalent in the Northeast of the United States, a style that found its way to the Grand Lake area in this early time period of settlement.
