Samyn-D’Elia Architect’s (SDA) first residential design commission, in 1981, was for a local family with strong conservation principles and deep historical ties to Squam Lake. The imprint of the lake’s history, the aesthetic of the local architecture, and the focus the client placed on preservation and respect for the natural setting have informed our residential design work ever since.

At SDA, we approach design as a collaborative process focused on our clients’ values and goals. We create exceptional spaces by being insightful observers, effective listeners and efficient communicators. SDA’s residential designs embody and reflect our clients’ vision and core values, meet their current and future needs, and respect their budget.

SDA’s residential portfolio contains a rich assortment of projects, including meticulous lakeside camp renovations, post-and-beam family homes tucked into the landscape, and expansive, ski-out residences—each reflecting the unique and varied tastes, needs and dreams of our inspiring clients.
