When husband and wife and retired Metropolitan Opera performers sought to create a relaxing weekend escape in the Adirondacks they looked to PJCArchitecture, whose founder they had previously worked with both at the Opera and on the renovation of their former Upper West Side home. Following their directive to create a comfortable home that engages with its surroundings and provides plenty of space for entertaining, PJCA artfully constructed a three-story, 1910-square-foot house with two bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms, as well as a separate 158-square foot boathouse with a third bedroom. As in the making of a dance or aria, the creation of this lakeside getaway was the result of a true collaborative process between the homeowners, design team, and local laborers.
