Lake Hayward House
East Haddam, CT
Replacing an existing one-story house destroyed by fire, this new 1,353 s.f. two-story vacation house was designed for family leisure and entertainment within a lake community. An open living/dining/kitchen space with a spacious enclosed porch and two exterior decks offer ample areas for social gatherings and weekend retreats. A master bedroom on the first floor provides convenience for the owners, while the second floor bedroom facilitates family visits. Furthermore, a generous office area on the second floor serves as a multipurpose activity loft.
This cottage/cape hybrid style house was designed with a multiple gable roof configuration along with a large shed dormer and two small shed dormers. Its placement on a sloped site with wooded backdrop provides optimal views for this hillside locale near Lake Hayward.
