INSPIRATION STARTERS

OnPoint

On Point in the Finger Lakes

Designed, crafted, and built by our teams, this home has quickly become the hub of multi-generational family gatherings. The 180 degree expanse on a point known locally as Allen's Point, allowed our design group to intentionally use the home's layout to make the most of sweeping lake views. The modified "L" shape layout positions the home to collect those views as well as links together the beach to the north with the boat dock to the south of the property. 

New Energy Works Home -- The Secret Life of Bees

The Secret Life of Bees

Tucked away on a secluded piece of farm & woodlands, Larry & Nancy wanted a home with effective use of space. The house has an open living area and master suite on the main level with smaller privatized spaces. The second story has the view, with peeks to a nearby river. A screened porch on the northeast side protrudes into the woods, and a garden with apiary brings the inhabitants through the transition from field to forest.

New Energy Works Home -- Long-Term Lake Front

Long-Term Lake Front

For homeowners Larry & Jennifer, owning a timber frame home on one of New York’s Finger Lakes was a long-term goal for most of their married life together. After years of searching, they finally found the right property, purchased it, removed the existing small cottage, and called in New Energy Works to design and build their new custom home.
