Set on a secluded tree-lined slope, this small Guilford, Connecticut cottage was graciously expanded. Our design added 340 sf to the living room area, where seven sliding glass doors now open onto a new deck.

The rear of the house, facing a lake, is framed by a 75-foot deck and gazebo constructed of mahogany and white cedar. A 140-sf addition to the master bath includes a whirlpool tub, oversized custom shower, as well as access to an outdoor shower and hot tub located on the deck.
