Finger Lakes, NY

Building on water presents unique challenges not only in construction logistics, but in deciding which materials are best suited for the conditions. For this Finger Lakes boathouse, we designed a two-bay timber frame port with exterior cedar shingles that work in harmony with the surrounding hillside shore. Inside, knotted pine beams and paneling continue the Adirondack aesthetic, creating a lasting and durable lakefront port that’s both utilitarian and beautiful.
