The Gunstock Residence is set on an 18-acre parcel in Gilford, New Hampshire, overlooking a forested landscape with long views toward Lake Winnipesaukee and the distant Mt. Washington. Designed to respond to the region’s long, dark winters, the home prioritizes daylight through vaulted interior spaces, a fully daylit basement, and a network of skylights that draw light deep into the plan throughout the year. Exposed beamwork and tongue-and-groove finishes define the architectural language, adding warmth and texture while reinforcing the home’s structure. Glass connections between the home’s massing create moments of transparency and visual continuity, linking interior spaces to the surrounding landscape and framing views of the lake and forest beyond.
Program includes 4 bed, 5 bath, numerous outdoor balconies, butler’s panty, sun room, gym, and children’s playroom.
