"Our family lived upstate and we would always go to the Thousand Islands and stay in motels and hotels. One day, they found an island for sale, so they bought it. Even 40 years ago, you couldn't be too selective - you were lucky to find anything for sale. It was an absolutely magical place to go every summer as a kid."
"My mom is an abstract artist. She loves to paint and design. My dad is a surgeon. I watched them design my childhood home as a kid. They always wanted to do things the way that they wanted to do them, and of course, they love natural wood."
"The family prioritized massive loft spaces with dramatic ceiling heights, a wraparound porch - and light cedar planks inside, outside and covering the ceilings. But while most island homes are built in the center of the landmass, or on the highest ground, the Nicolas family positioned their escape daringly right on the water's edge."
