Lake House in Orleans Cape Cod
New Construction
We were asked by longtime clients to design their summer residence in Orleans. The beautiful lakefront lot affords stunning views from the perch where we situated the house.
The goal was to create effortless, casual living for our clients, their extended family, and friends. Large open living spaces on the main floor are ideal for large-scale entertaining; the vaulted Great Room is evocative of the Camp that previously inhabited the site. There is a Guest Suite on the main floor for elderly guests, as well as a beautiful screen porch.
The second floor is the family’s personal space, with sleeping accommodations for them, as well as a generous home office with a private balcony.
The lake is the main focus of the property, and the residence is intentionally designed to maximize the water views, which can be seen from every space. The sloped site allows for a large walk-out lower level, which accommodates recreation spaces for both adults and teens.
