Phinney Design Group has crafted an incredible modern lake house getaway tucked into a scenic outlet of Lake Placid, in New York’s Adirondack Mountains. The project was conceived as a “lean to” with a large shed roof sloping down towards the roadside. This Southern façade faces the lake and features expansive glass walls that allow abundant natural light.
The family of four wanted both a ski and summer retreat equipped to host guests and extended family frequently. Large openings were designed into the East and West ends of the home to accommodate the prevailing summer breeze and passively cool the interior.
Locally sourced natural materials were selected with a modern aesthetic, including American granite, bluestone, western red cedar, and douglas fir beams and soffits.
What We Love: This lake house getaway offers its inhabitants a wonderful seasonal retreat for its inhabitants to enjoy outdoor activities. Large walls of glazing frame picturesque views of the snowy scene throughout the living spaces, creating a magical atmosphere — especially during the holidays. We are loving the clean lines and durable materials used in this home, perfect for a vacation retreat.
