Lined with tall pines and hemlocks, the picturesque lake hosts swimming recreation in the summer and ice fishing shelters in the winter. The homeowners, who have generations of family history in this charming locale, imagined a restful retreat that expressed deep ties to the area while also reflecting their well-traveled sensibilities and the wealth of ideas they learned abroad. One such concept that appealed to them was the wabi-sabi aesthetic, a traditional Japanese ideology that embraces the imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete in nature.<\/p>\n<p>The clients brought their design concept to Maine-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whittenarchitects.com\/\">Whitten Architects<\/a>, who immediately got on board and ran with it. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whittenarchitects.com\/about\/team\/tom_lane\/\">Tom Lane<\/a>, an associate with the firm, seized the opportunity with enthusiasm and led the team who worked closely with the couple to design their two-bedroom getaway. Whitten Architects also worked in tandem with landscape architect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sorendeniord.com\/\">Soren deNiord<\/a> to ensure a fluid continuity inside and out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur clients discussed the idea of wabi-sabi in their brief\u2014the Japanese concept of beauty in imperfection and transience,\u201d Tom explains. \u201cWe explored the expression of these ideas in the rustic wood cladding, which will patina in time, and in the polished concrete slab that reveals evidence of the formwork of its construction. The home was designed without a particular style in mind, but rather, through a process of discovering how our clients wanted to use their home and what form and materials fit on the site.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-organic-orientation\">Organic Orientation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/FullExterior.WabiSabiCabin-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19739\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/FullExterior.WabiSabiCabin-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/FullExterior.WabiSabiCabin-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/FullExterior.WabiSabiCabin-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/FullExterior.WabiSabiCabin-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/FullExterior.WabiSabiCabin-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/FullExterior.WabiSabiCabin-640x360.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur clients wanted a home that was natural in materials and textures,\u201d says Tom. \u201cThe exterior cladding was inspired by a stack of cut logs that were on the site at an early meeting. The house is clad, like a\u00a0cut log, with bark and sapwood. The\u00a0\u200b\u2018bark\u2019 is Western red cedar stained black giving it a\u00a0Shou Sugi Ban\u00a0appearance, inspired by the ancient Japanese technique that preserves wood by charring it with fire. The\u00a0\u200b\u2018sapwood\u2019 siding undercover, along the entrance axis, is Douglas fir with a\u00a0natural oil\u00a0finish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-natural-flow\">Natural Flow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/NaturalFlow-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/NaturalFlow-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/NaturalFlow-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/NaturalFlow-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/NaturalFlow-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/NaturalFlow-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/NaturalFlow-640x360.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>The interior walls are veneer plaster, a traditional craft in New England, and the floor is a polished concrete slab with hydronic radiant heat. \u201cTogether with the interior designer, we developed a restrained material palette to allow the views outside to provide color that changes throughout the seasons,\u201d says Tom.<\/p>\n<p>The living area transitions effortlessly outdoors, creating a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. Outside, a conversation area welcomes family and guests with a grouping of Adirondack chairs. A clever concrete bench with firewood storage and detachable wood back was designed by landscape architect Soren deNiord, who collaborated with craftsman <a href=\"http:\/\/kphoodconstruction.com\/\">Ken Hood<\/a>. Douglas fir columns lining the walkway create a colonnade aiming toward the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-visually-connected\">Visually Connected<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LIVING.SPACE_-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19740\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LIVING.SPACE_-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LIVING.SPACE_-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LIVING.SPACE_-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LIVING.SPACE_-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LIVING.SPACE_-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/LIVING.SPACE_-640x360.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe see the house as a means to enjoy this land by the lake,\u201d Tom says. \u201cThe living room is designed to invite the outdoors in while providing shelter from the elements. The interior ceiling is lower on the sleeping and utility sides of the house and is vaulted in the shared kitchen and living space. In the cold and dark New England winters, the corner fireplace engages the senses and provides thermal comfort and a warm atmosphere from two sides.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The interior furnishings, selected by interior designer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heidilachapelle.com\/\">Heidi Lachapelle<\/a>, are intended to be functional, comfortable, and elegant in form. Materials were chosen that age gracefully, showing evidence of use by developing a patina and aligning with the wabi-sabi concept. The room\u2019s lofty 12-foot ceiling makes the room feel airy and spacious.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur interior palette of dark green and rust stayed in step with the colors seen in the landscape,\u201d Heidi explains. \u201cWe punctuated the color scheme with neutral-hued textures. We were thoughtful with the fabric materials and used linens, velvets, and weaves to add subtle dimension and depth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heidi\u2019s clean and minimal aesthetic includes an oak daybed from Bautier and an indoor\/outdoor rug by Dash &amp; Albert. Shapely trapezoidal cushions counterbalance the straight lines of the concrete bench. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-functional-flexibility\">Functional Flexibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/KITCHEN_DINING-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/KITCHEN_DINING-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/KITCHEN_DINING-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/KITCHEN_DINING-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/KITCHEN_DINING-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/KITCHEN_DINING-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/KITCHEN_DINING-640x360.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>In the kitchen, an oak table by Ethnicraft can be extended by the flip of a lever. Contemporary Windsor chairs by Hay complement the Shaker influences seen throughout the home. The oak cabinet behind the sofa has casters, so it can be pulled into use in multiple places when extra surface space is needed.<\/p>\n<p>The original architectural plan included a centralized kitchen island, but the owners opted for a more flexible option\u2014a dining table that could also double as a prep area. The countertops are fabricated from local granite, and the light wood screen backing the darkly stained open cabinetry echoes the cut-log concept of the exterior fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shaker-simplicity\">Shaker Simplicity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/SHAKER.SIMPLICITY-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/SHAKER.SIMPLICITY-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/SHAKER.SIMPLICITY-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/SHAKER.SIMPLICITY-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/SHAKER.SIMPLICITY-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/SHAKER.SIMPLICITY-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/SHAKER.SIMPLICITY-640x360.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>The primary bedroom features a vintage velvet Ligne Roset chair\u2014a treasured find from the renowned Brimfield Antique Market. Heidi sourced the Ethnicraft bed and side table from Fiore Home in Portland, Maine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the furniture, we focused on familiar Shaker references that have modern silhouettes,\u201d Heidi explains. \u201cWe wanted every piece within the space to work seamlessly with the architecture and the inside\/outside design.

In the summer, they enjoy accessing the lake by the dock, sitting around the fire pit, and enjoying the screened porch.
