New Residence, Mohegan Lake, NY – Case Study

by Alfandre Architecture

About the project...

We have completed building this new, zero energy ready house located directly on the lake.  The lake was the main factor of this design.  We wanted to be sure we were able to get the best views of the lake for the living areas and bedrooms.    

Lake View
The property of this new home captures a spectacular view of the lake.

In order to design the house to face the lake, we had to study the sun path.  The lake is located on the west side of the house, so we couldn't just put a wall of windows because the house would get too hot in the afternoon.  We put a moderate amount of windows on the west side of the house and put three foot overhangs to help shade the windows.

East View
We created a 3D model to help the owners understand what the house would look like when completed. During construction, we worked with the owners to help them design the colors of the roofs, siding and windows.

EcoBuilders, our construction company, was chosen as the general contractor and used panelized walls to build the house.  Panelized building is not only much faster than stick building, but it's also more accurate.  All of the walls are constructed in the factory and then sent to the site.  This helps save money on construction costs because the contractors won't order a surplus of materials that won't be used.

This project was a design and build project.  It was easy for changes to be applied and we were able to work closely with the owners and subcontractors.  It also avoids the bidding phase, allowing construction to start sooner than a design-bid-build project.

West View during Construction
Watching designs start coming to life is both exciting for us and the owners. To learn more about design build project delivery, click the image above.

Being a design and build project, smaller details were able to be attended to during construction without change orders.  This helps the owner save time and money.

Some small details went into the bathrooms, including this stunning, walk-in shower.

We are excited for the owners to move into their new home soon!
