Harvey’s Lake Lodge
Overlooking one of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s historic lake communities, this contemporary home draws on the vocabulary of local woodland cottages to develop a home both modern and bucolic. A restrained palette of materials includes fieldstone, cedar siding, cedar shakes, and standing seam metal roofing. Deep overhangs shade the south-facing elevation from the summer sun.
The project received an Honor Award for Design from the Northeastern Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Institute of Architects in 2007.
“It has a great central room – and when you enter on axis with that room you see out to the view, creatively exploring a lakeside vernacular. The house is slightly vast and has a large presence on the lake, but it does have a clear plan idea and related intellectual content in regard to the plan organization on the site. As an upside-down house where visitors enter at the middle-level, the view is the metaphor.” – AIA New York Jury
