This lakeside home in New York's Finger Lakes region takes timeless structural timber frame design and weaves in modern finishes for a clean and bright unifying aesthetic.
"Everyone I work with on a project is an intentional choice,” explained builder Steve Grossi of Louis J. Grossi Construction. “I have been a fine homebuilder long enough to know who I need to work with to achieve the quality of work my clients are looking for, so I have developed a small core group of partners that I work with again and again, and New Energy Works is part of that group."
With a burned and brushed custom textured finish, the Douglas fir timber frame provides a commanding presence throughout the home. The outdoor porch area is softened by thoughtful design choices, colors, and detailed finishes that give the home a modern personality and elegant flow.
“For this project we originally did work on the guest house cottage, and then worked with the architect on developing the scope of the main house. It has a nice timber exterior screen porch with an eyebrow curve on the lakeside, which was challenging for our team to pull off. It took some real ingenuity to get that to work as well as it did, with kudos to our engineering and timber frame team.” – Eric Fraser, New Energy Works COO
