The Design Process and Off-Site Construction of Alchemy’s Squam Lake Residence
| Sponsored Content
Internationally recognized for their weeHouse® concept, Alchemy has been proving since 1992 that even the smallest of dwellings can have a huge impact. weeHouse®, a term that Alchemy trademarked in 2002, was conceived as a modular-friendly design system that emphasizes quality before quantity, and has been recognized by an ethos of “less is more.” The Minnesota-based firm, led by Geoffrey Warner FAIA, designs the structures to be modern and sleek with particular attention to using expressive local materials with environmental sensitivity.
The Squam Lake House in New Hampshire, although not technically a weeHouse, was required to strictly respect the floor area and volume of a dilapidated cabin 15’ from the shore. Fabricated mostly offsite by Bensonwood using 18” thick, pre-glazed wall panels and white oak timber framing, the panels were erected in only 4 days.
Eric Winter, AIA and architect at Alchemy, shared some valuable insights about the project’s design process.

Pre-Announcement: "Beyond YUE｜Jianhu Revival", Shaoxing Jianhu Planning and Design Competition Coming Soon
Jianhu (Jian Lake) is the origin of local Yue civilization. It has witnessed the vitality and development of the city for thousands of years. Sitting at the junction between the Keqiao urban zone and Kuaiji Mountain landscape, it features a unique blended context of “mountain, lake, city and farmland”, and also a number of beautiful humanistic stories. Today, under Keqiao's development positioning—the "International Textile Capital", Jianhu is opening up and embracing creativity altogether.
Under the background of a new era, we would like to invite global planners, architects, and designers hereby to submit your “transcending” proposals along the lakeshore, thus creating a revived, prosperous Jianhu that transcends time and space, transcends imagination, carries, and reveals the super Yue culture, and goes beyond it!
