At MGa, we believe that every space deserves beauty and purpose. The Soo Nipi House embodies our desire to create functional, enjoyable homes that respond meaningfully to their surroundings. Designed for a pair of siblings and their families, Soo Nipi holds a variety of comfortable spaces to cook, eat, gather and relax all while taking in the spectacular views of Lake Sunapee. The siblings’ original house on the site was destroyed in a lightning fire. Now, native plantings are revitalizing the damaged terrain while a granite and Douglas fir pergola offers a privacy buffer and shade to the primary living spaces. The interior contrasts warm wood with white plaster to create an airy and intimate environment. As in all our work, thoughtful details, executed in close collaboration with talented local builders, give the residence a subtly sculptural and handcrafted quality.
