The Bedrock Retreat

Lake George, NY

Perched royally upon a scenic hill, this exquisite abode, meticulously crafted by the visionary architects of AJA Architecture & Planning, has been thoughtfully orchestrated to seize the breathtaking vistas of the expansive lake below and the tapestry of distant mountains.

There were three main goals that the owners wanted to accomplish for the design of their new home – and we kept these goals in mind throughout our design phase. The first goal was to design the new lake house with an open plan that would allow for views of the lake and mountains in the distance from every room. The second goal was to have ease of access from the entry side, which sits one story down from the bluff and main living areas. And the third goal was to be mindful of keeping the house from seeming too large from the entrance.

AJA designed a large and open living space to accommodate the client’s growing family, as well as their large group of friends visiting on any giving season or holiday. The natural finishes of its exterior gives this new home a lasting beauty that can withstand time and trends, blending perfectly with the local vernacular.
