Ensconced on the shores of Lake Garfield in Monterey, Massachusetts, this extraordinary home was transformed into a harmonious blend of modern design and natural beauty.
Designed by Musumanoco, LLC, the project reimagined both the structure and its setting with additions, façade updates, and a complete interior redesign. To reconnect the home to its lakefront woodland surroundings, the landscape was revitalized with native plantings, terraced stone paths, and rugged stone walls that merge seamlessly with the forest.
The home’s striking black exterior with a cobalt blue cast echoes the lake’s ever-changing hues, while its sculptural form and expansive windows celebrate the breathtaking views. Inside, reclaimed materials, such as historic beams and barnboard, create warm, textured spaces that feel timeless yet fresh.
With Lou Boxer Builder bringing the vision to life, this project perfectly balances innovation and a deep respect for its natural context. Explore the project details by visiting the Musumanoco project page below.
