GOVERNOR'S ISLAND RESIDENCE

The most stirring compliment that the Clients have received on this home came from their caretaker who has lived in the area and cared for homes on the island all his life.   He simply said that he liked it because it reminded him of the homes that used to be found all around the lake when he was much younger.  As it happens, that is exactly what the Clients wanted to create when they first approached the project. 

The home is located on a point at the southernmost tip of Governor’s Island, a place steeped in summer New England tradition.  The design borrows from that tradition and creates something of worth, a real contribution to the architecture that rims this New Hampshire lake.  Through its classic design elements, use of materials, and siting on the property, the home calls to mind the grand old New England summer homes that were once commonplace on Lake Winnipesaukee.
