A family retreat on Burden Lake in Rensselaer County and the adaptive reuse of the Malone Middle School building in Franklin County received top honors at the 2013 Design Awards event of the American Institute of Architects' Eastern New York chapter.

The awards were presented at the Arts Center of the Capital Region in Troy.

The Brass Residence, a 2,300-square-foot, two-story, four-bedroom lake house, was designed by a team led by Scott Townsend, founder and principal of Albany-based 3t Architects.

The group turned an existing camp into a contemporary lakeside retreat that eventually will become a primary home.
