Situated on the edge of New Hampshire’s beautiful Lake Sunapee, this Craftsman-style shingle lake house peeks out from the towering pine trees that surround it. When the clients approached Cummings Architects, the lot consisted of 3 run-down buildings. The challenge was to create something that enhanced the property without overshadowing the landscape, while adhering to the strict zoning regulations that come with waterfront construction. The result is a design that encompassed all of the clients’ dreams and blends seamlessly into the gorgeous, forested lake-shore, as if the property was meant to have this house all along. The ground floor of the main house is a spacious open concept that flows out to the stone patio area with fire pit. Wood flooring and natural fir bead-board ceilings pay homage to the trees and rugged landscape that surround the home. The gorgeous views are also captured in the upstairs living areas and third floor tower deck. The carriage house structure holds a cozy guest space with additional lake views, so that extended family and friends can all enjoy this vacation retreat together. Photo by Eric Roth

GAF Camelot architectural asphalt shingles put over a full GAF WeatherWatch® ice and water weather barrier, qualifying this installation for a GAF GoldenPledge 40-year warranty. Accents on this installation included 16 oz red copper flashing in valleys and an EPDM installation on the front dormers. We also installed two Velux skylights on the rear of the home.

The house bridges over a swale in the land twice in the form of a C. The centre of the C is the main living area, while, together with the bridges, features floor to ceiling glazing set into a Douglas fir glulam post and beam structure. The Southern wing leads off the C to enclose the guest wing with garages below. It was important to us that the home sit quietly in its setting and was meant to have a strong connection to the land.
