BarnesVanze Architects, in collaboration with Wood & Clay, has designed this new lakeside carriage-house/cottage nestled in the pine forests along the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire. The cottage embodies the charm of the shingle style with an outdoor living room on the deck overlooking the water.
Designed to blend with its natural surroundings seamlessly, lake views are maximized from the large upper deck and front bedrooms. Every detail of this home was lovingly selected, from the reclaimed oak mantel and custom pine box beams to the vintage laundry room door and leaded glass kitchen cabinet inserts.

This new custom home was built alongside an existing boathouse that underwent some much-needed updates to its existing living space. The boathouse’s pine ceiling and wall paneling were preserved amidst the updates to maintain the warm and comfortable gathering space that had been in the family for years.
What We Love: This charming cottage in New Hampshire offers warm and welcoming living spaces both indoors and outdoors. Ideally positioned to overlook the lake, this home can be enjoyed year-round, providing a serene retreat for relaxation, entertaining, and taking in the ever-changing scenery. We love the great room and how it seamlessly connects to a spacious deck that looks out over the water, perfect for bringing the outdoors in and creating an inviting space for gatherings with family and friends.
