Franconia Mountain Retreat
2600 sq. ft. | In Progress : Concept Design


Modern house in snowy forest, aerial view.

Nestled in the White Mountains of Franconia, NH, this conceptual design features a massing meticulously configured to step, cantilever, and interlock with its woodland setting. The uppermost level houses three bedrooms, while the first floor plan is dedicated to entertainment, with an open kitchen, dining, and living room layout, all views oriented towards the White Mountains.

This design harmonizes modern living with nature, providing a serene and immersive experience in the northeast's woodland landscape. Stained Western Red Cedar clads the exterior and lines the ceilings of the home. The design strives to ensure the residence not only complements, but also enhances the environment it is intertwined with.
