Nothing beats an Adirondack summer, especially when it means getting out on the water to better understand the places we help shape.

Our principal architect and one of our partnering contractors recently spent the morning measuring water levels for a new boat house installation on Lower Saranac Lake. Thoughtful design starts long before construction begins, and for us, that means showing up, asking questions, gathering real-world data, and getting our hands in the sand (literally)

We believe sustainable projects are built on strong relationships with our clients, our contractors, and the landscapes that make the Adirondacks so special. Every measurement helps ensure we're designing with the water, not just beside it.🌞🌿

At Black Mountain Architecture, our vision is a community where design bridges the built and natural environments. Sometimes, that "natural environment" gets a little chilly! Kim and the kids are out here proving that resilience can also be beautiful. In −10∘F weather, they aren't just enduring the cold - they’re finding joy by watching ice crystals bloom in real-time.

Jesse’s daughter, Della, recently completed this stunning Magnatile boathouse.

We’re particularly impressed by her use of color, the structural integrity of those "glass" walls, and that bold, pitched roofline.

Work is underway at the Horse Show Grounds!

While we love seeing the framing go up, we are most proud of how the structure is beginning to sit within this critical view corridor. Designing in the Adirondacks is often about listening to the landscape.

Our goal was to ensure the built design sits among the Olympic Torch, Whiteface, and the Sentinel Range. It’s a privilege to build in a place this beautiful.

There is a profound beauty in building with the very elements found on the land.
For this timeless Adirondack sleeping cabin on the lake, we wanted the design to truly bridge the built and natural environments.

We selected materials that reflect the site itself:
“Ausable Blue” granite in the shower
White pine walls
Maple floors
Rustic Alder cabinetry

By using the trees and stones similar to those on which the building sits, the structure feels less like an addition to the landscape and more like a natural extension of it. This is environmental stewardship in its most tactile form.

Opening Day at Whiteface ❄️

It was a perfect day—white snow, blue sky—for Jesse, Kim, and the kids to get back on the mountain.

We know early snow can be tough on our builder partners and collaborators trying to close in projects before deep winter sets in (we appreciate you!). But on the weekends, we make it a priority to get out there.
