This reimagined family home is built on the foundation of a historic lakefront camp in the Hudson River Valley of New York. The camp was comprised of seven independent structures that were taken down prior to the renovation, the four new buildings on the site were built in the footprints of the original structures on the picturesque estate.
“The site is an old lake front religious camp in the Hudson Valley that was made up of a number of structures originally, which we ended up taking down and re-building over their existing footprints, which is why the buildings are shaped the way they are and why they are positioned where they are on the site,” explained Mike Maggio, Project Manager Hudson Design. “That enabled us to build as close to the lake as possible, and really capture the best views.”
Consisting of a large timber frame main house, yoga studio, boat house, and two-bedroom guest house, the one-of-a-kind property has plenty of room for friends and family to gather. Located on the very end of the lake where the water hooks around into the surrounding woodlands, the camp is a serene and private place perfect for quiet contemplation and meaningful conversations.
“Utilizing heavy timber structures was the first set of design criteria that the clients wanted, and any time a timber frame project comes up we always try to work with New Energy Works first,“ Mike continued. “It is just a better product, the installation is great, and the whole staff is very professional."
“The professionalism and craftsmanship that New Energy Works brings to a project is just spectacular, the small subtle details just make the whole project work,” Mike concluded. “Working with the team on the architectural components for this camp was great, representing lot of effort on both sides, a wonderful collaboration that you can see reflected in the final structures.”
