This new home is located on a magnificent site with direct views of Mount Mansfield. A dramatic new entry sequence creates a sense of arrival and the orientation of the structures embrace the dramatic vistas. Outdoor living spaces are celebrated by stitching native plantings with built site features and a mix of ground plane materials while interior living spaces maximize solar orientation. The home speaks to the craftsmanship of the region and climate, through the use of enduring materials, textures and colors. Sustainable strategies include use of local materials, a highly insulated building envelope, natural ventilation and renewable energy sources, as well as solar hot water collection, photovoltaic panels and heat pump technologies.
