“Un-insulated Innovation”
A lakefront camp that makes the most of the summertime in the tradition of the good old days.

It is often a mistake to make camps year-round [in terms of use],” states Patrick Kane. Patrick, an architect for Kane Architecture of East Hardwick, Vermont, wanted to avoid that mistake while he was designing this lakefront camp in the Northeast Kingdom. He set out to design a building that would be completely seasonal, connected to the outdoors, and essentially a balance between a classic-style building and one with a modern, innovative design. The camp’s owners had grown up spending their summers near this property and on the same lake. They were hoping to build a house that would remind them of their childhood visits and give their children a place to enjoy the same experiences in a rustic, inviting setting. Because they had grown up spending only the summertime in Vermont, the owners agreed with Patrick—they had no plans to spend time at the house in the winter, and it would seem strange and unnecessary to build the house with any notion of four-season use in mind.
