Summer is almost here, and we can finally feel it in the Berkshires! ☀️ It's time to fully enjoy outdoor living spaces.
For this house on Onota Lake, we focused on blending traditional New England shingle-style architecture with contemporary glass expanses to create a seamless connection between the home and its breathtaking natural surroundings.
Architectural Details We Love:
🏡 Dark Green Shingle Siding: A classic choice that allows the home to recede into the forest of mature maples and aspens.
🪟 Large, Dark-Framed Windows: A critical design choice that maximizes the stunning lake views while providing a dramatic interior light well.
🧱 Natural Stone Retaining Wall: This dry-stacked wall provides structure for the garden beds and connects the home's foundation to the earth.
🚶♀️ Bluestone Paver Path: A textural element that offers a meandering approach through the new landscaping (shoutout to the birches and hydrangeas filling in beautifully!).
This is a place where you make memories.
