Bonin Architects crafted this gorgeous lakefront house perched on a steep, ledge-filled property, seventy feet above the lake in Lakes Region, New Hampshire. Predominant southerly views stretching across the lake’s length provide an ever-changing seasonal backdrop from sunrise to sunset. From snow-swept scenes of the frozen lake to the stunning hues of autumn, nearly all of the rooms offer unique vignettes of New Hampshire’s breathtaking outdoors.
The design of “Big Grey Rock” was inspired by a love of nature, regional family history, landscape paintings, and outdoor activities. Prioritizing views and ample space for large family gatherings, while minimizing impact on the property, were paramount. Additionally, selecting warm, natural materials and colors helps the home blend harmoniously into the wooded, rocky shoreline setting.
