Leary Castle
Tupper Lake, New York
A 6,000-square-foot medieval castle -- made entirely of cinderblocks on 20 acres of pristine and remote land in -Adirondack Park. The castle also is situated so that the view stretches 100 miles in every direction.
Renaissance-themed game room called a "Fungeon."
Wood craftsman Matteo Bartolotta, made a hand-carved ornate kitchen. The kitchen leads to a library, with a wall of books.
Pull the correct book and the wall will swivel to reveal
a secret passage leading to a powder room.
The stairway opens to a 20-foot-high great room.
King and queen's master suites will each consist of a large bedroom with a bathroom and a balcony overlooking the great room. The queen's room will also have a drawbridge at its entrance, should invaders try to capture her.
On the fourth floor are four more bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, each named and designed after a chess piece..
The roof will be outfitted with a wood-heated hot tub, a greenhouse, and an outdoor fireplace. Guests can climb the
60-foot-high turret and look out over the 20-acre property.
Arts and Crafts with a View
Skaneateles, New York
This Skaneateles, NY custom lake house is perched on a steeply sloping west-facing site. The house was designed in a transitional style on lakefront property.
Critical elements in the design were to create open, light, and airy spaces, maximize the lake's beautiful vistas, and create an aesthetic that was in context with the community's traditional architecture.
The project was inspired by the East Lake movement of the 19th-century architecture and detail, but with sweeping views, a more open floor plan, and the essence of a contemporary lifestyle.
