When reimagining such a property, it’s important to respect the design principles of the geographic area, starting with the natural materials that have become synonymous with Adirondack design.
At Phinney Design Group, founding principal Michael Phinney and his team approach each project with sustainability in mind. “Authenticity is important, especially if you’re touching a historic camp,” said Phinney.
“And one of the most environmentally conscious things you can do is preserve an old structure.” Phinney says camps of the past were built utilizing materials that came right from the and the property was built on, including natural woods and stone from surrounding properties. Through his work, he aims to preserve those elements, which are often found in excellent structural condition decades later.
