On the shores of New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee, Beckwith Builders designed a New England shingle-style lake house that captures the spirit of family summers on the lake. The home was crafted to maximize lake views and create a seamless indoor-outdoor connection for family gatherings. The design includes classic New England touches like a checkered painted wood pantry floor and a custom lighthouse newel post.

A Lake House Transformation with Breathtaking Views
Customizable Folding Glass Door Elevates Design
On the lake facing exterior façade, a screened porch was designed with a disappearing folding glass door for optimal views and enhanced indoor-outdoor living. To merge the primary living spaces with the screened porch, Beckwith Builders selected a five-panel NanaWall folding glass door, offering prime views of the lake. The system was customized with a white powder coating and divided lites to match the existing fenestration and seamlessly merge with the home’s New England charm.
Panoramic Lake Views and Indoor-Outdoor Living
The lakeside retreat also includes other amenities to extend outdoor living, including a lakeside deck with a hot tub, a private sandy beach, a boathouse, and a pool cabana. The 15-foot-wide system opens to the covered porch outfitted with comfortable outdoor furniture and pull-down screens to keep the space bug-free. This configuration allows the family to keep the NanaWall open for a breezy lake house feel without the intrusion of insects, creating an ideal setup for long summer evenings.
“NanaWall has become a staple in our lake home projects because of how they provide flexible indoor-outdoor living. NanaWall helped us bring panoramic lake views into the house and it truly gives a home that extra something special.”
What Our Customers Have to Say
Park City Residence
The preexisting French doors and large windows were not maximizing on the stunning panoramic views at this Hollywood CA residence. During a renovation project, the space was transformed with jaw dropping results.
Vasko Residence
With the unique capabilities of the NanaWall opening glass doors, including zero-clearance thresholds, NanaWall is the solution for seamless integration of craftsmanship and lifestyle.
“During Summer and Fall, we usually leave the doors open as we host friends and family while the kids run around from the backyard to inside the house,” says the homeowner. “It is pure joy. We would not have it any other way.”
