This private residence is a simple and unpretentious house for a painter. The cluster of gabled rectangles recalls Vermont's traditional agricultural structures through their geometric clarity, contrasting the rolling landscape. Glazed openings extend from the floor to the datum, and, because it rests on a ledge, the house acts as a viewing platform that opens up to pastoral Vermont farmland and the Green Mountains beyond. Stone walls grow out of this ledge and form the house's foundation walls, then extend into the landscape to create outdoor spaces, such as a terraced "sun pocket" to the south. Highly energy efficient, using natural local materials, this project complements the existing landscape.
