Inspired by the Norwegian way of living, this minimalistic, energy-efficient house prioritizes family over frills. After living in a colonial-style house on this Hanover property for several years, a family of six was ready for a change … but not a move. The homeowners liked where they lived, on a wooded lot, still close to town and the local co-op.

I’d like to make a motion that the first day of spring be celebrated with as much fanfare as the Hallmark holidays we’re brainwashed into thinking are important. Landing on March 20, the vernal equinox occurs following the longest stretch of dispiriting weather all year, at least that’s the case in New England.

In 1969, architect Delnoce (Noche) Whitney Goubert and his wife, Ingrid, moved from New York City to New Hampshire to start Oakledge, a residential community of 55 single-family homes nestled on the shores of Lake Sunapee. He conceived and designed each house in the unique enclave and also championed the preservation of the environment, receiving the “Conservationist of the Year” award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1975.

In 1885, Keens Chophouse in New York City opened as a hangout for the Theater District, then concentrated around Herald Square. Except for a name change in 1995—swapping out chophouse for steakhouse—the old-school landmark has remained a steadfast fixture in the neighborhood, still drawing fans of its traditional fare and clubby atmosphere.

Image Contracting in Bedford is no stranger to bespoke bath remodels, yet this was their most ambitious to date. This primary en suite left nothing untouched. Everything in the space was relocated and reconfigured for function and best use of the space. The oversized walk-in shower is now located where the wraparound double vanity once was. The porcelain tile with blue veining subtly expresses the homeowners’ favorite color while offering durability and ease of cleaning.

I’ve always loved winter in New England. Regrettably, snowfalls over the years have diminished in size, but I cling to memories of watching the first fat flakes of the season tumble out of the sky and racing with my friends to our local ski area. It was the best feeling to come home after a day on the slopes and smell the burning logs in the fireplace before I even stepped into the house.

During the four decades architect Philip Laird has spent time at Lake Sunapee, he’s witnessed a great deal of change. “A lot of old summer cottages have been torn down and something bigger has gone up,” he relates. “Sometimes they’re nice, sometimes not.” So, when he was approached to respectfully renovate an Adirondack-style lake house built in 1911, he accepted. “It was so nice to be able to do something that was in the character of the existing house,” he says.

Good architects design nice buildings. Better architects tap into their vision and imagination. Curious, they delve beyond the nuts and bolts of a project, seeking not only to create or recreate a house but also to consider the intangible elements that endow a structure with a personality all its own.

If you buy a property located at the highest point in town, it makes sense you’d want the house you build there to be elevated as well — and not just in altitude. “The lot and the view gave me the feeling of a chateau,” says homeowner Debbie Croatti, who had a clear vision for the parcel despite its steep pitch and solid granite composition. She, her husband, Mike, and their two sons stayed at the Château La Chenevière hotel in Normandy during a family trip and the French castle inspired her.
