Offering a retreat from city life, this lake house is the ideal setting for family gatherings. Situated on a small Connecticut lake, the design embraces its setting with clapboard siding, stone, and barnwood—materials that root it in the local vernacular and history. Framed entirely around the lake, the home is the antithesis of urban life: open, relaxed, and deeply tied to the landscape. Every space is designed to blend the client’s cosmopolitan sensibility with the ease of a country retreat. For the family, the home is as timeless as it is effortless.
Every SHM project is guided by the same philosophy:
rooted in craft, relaxed in our approach, and ready to hold your hand from concept to completion.
