The new Waterfront House in the Adirondacks (Lake Placid, New York, 2013) is a modern adaptation of the Gilded-Age family compound that combines classical and vernacular elements to balance a client preference for formality with the region's relaxed camp aesthetic; the exterior of the asymmetrical, rambling structure employs a tailored, less-known Adirondack-style of brown clapboard siding, green-shingled roof and white trim.
