The challenge was to transform two parcels into one, serving as a vacation camp for our clients & extended family. The site features trees, native boulders, ledges, towering cedars, and the constant draw of a wild Lake Champlain beach shoreline. We designed a new road that loops the perimeter, passing through woodlands and meadows, revealing and disguising views. It grazes by the house, newly constructed guesthouse and future studio as if the loop itself is the destination. Working with native local materials, beach stone became paths, driftwood became bridges and railings, and a waterlogged stump became the patio table. Fallen cedars were cut into a woodpile privacy fence. Native plant associations inspired our plant selections
