Modern Artist Retreat
High in the Green Mountains above the Mad River Valley, this house celebrates a spectacular setting with views into the near and distant landscape. Japanese shou sugi ban burned cedar siding helps the house settle unobtrusively into its forested setting. Simple gabled forms for the house and studio establish a minimal character which extends to the Scandinavian inspired interiors. Natural materials throughout and windows that dramatically extend to the floor draw the landscape inside. High performance systems and insulation levels ensure energy efficiency, resilience, and comfort.
