I had the opportunity to visit the recently completed Bean Cove project and was truly blown away. It was a treat to provide structural engineering on this project. This modern lake house is a modern Architectural marvel with long horizontal lines, overhanging roofs, and floor-to-ceiling glass walls that would make Frank Lloyd Wright proud. All… Read More »
There truly is something magical about New Hampshire lake towns in the warm summer months. Kids ride their bikes to get ice cream in town, couples sip coffee on their porch and watch the morning unfold across the lake, neighbors get together to enjoy a lakeside fire in the dusk.
