A Family Great Camp in NY page 2	The house is oriented to the view and lake while being protected by the trees. An existing campsite was found on this spot, representing several years of local wisdom about the best place to spend the night. A stone pillar and fireplace now rise through the center of the house at the location of the former campsite fire ring.

Site built trusses radiate from the central stone pillar to form the main pavilion of the house.

Home Office on the Lake		Designs were developed long distance through a series of site visits, photo arrays, computer modeling and emailed image files.

If you have to work while on vacation, your desk should have a really good view...	and so should the tub...	Bath in the Trees



Log Porch	The house construction incorporates local cedar logs, expertly wrestled into place, shaped by the builders and joined with custom steel structural hardware. The large screened porch is anchored by a 24" diameter central log pillar and is wringed with smaller log posts which were embedded in the walls.
