NY Lake House

NY Lake House sits on a lake with sprawling cliff
views at the edge of the Mohonk Preserve.
The home was purchased to serve as a retreat for
its owners and we wanted the interior to really
reflect that.
The property was built in 1971 with architectural
consideration given to bringing the outside into
each room and that was expanded upon in this
renovation.
The existing vaulted opening in the living area was
redesigned to have greater glass coverage with
minimal blockage of the exterior views. In addition
two full height windows were added to the living
area and the walls dividing the living room from
the kitchen were removed.
This opened up the space, created wider exterior
views and gave opportunity for larger gatherings
with more engagement between spaces.
A reading nook was added off of the pantry to
provide a semi private lounge area. A new
bathroom was added in unused hallway space.
Our goal was to blend the old with the new and
preserve many of the original details. The
fireplace wall of natural stone mined from the
Shawangunk Ridge and the dining floors
salvaged from an old French Cathedral for
instance, were preserved and the original entry
door refinished. The exterior was stained black
to feel new, add drama, and vibrate against the
surrounding nature. A new roof was installed
along with new exterior lights. At the entry
Brendan Ravenhill ADA sconces fit the mood of
the property perfectly.
We specified natural materials that modernized
the space but also had a timeless quality.
