This post features the complete reprint of an article originally published in New England Home Magazine, shared here with permission. The feature is based on an interview with Michael D’Angelo of MDLA Landscape Architects and includes insights from Britni Rotunda, Residential Studio Lead at Maugel DeStefano Architects, about designing a Lake Winnipesaukee retreat that accommodates large family gatherings while maintaining an enduring connection to its wooded, waterfront setting.

The project team also included builder Jason Drouin Custom Homes and interior designer Lindsay Lawrence Interiors, creating a seamless experience from structure to landscape to living spaces. Shortly before this article was published, the project was recognized as “2025 New Hampshire Home of the Year” by NH Home Magazine.
