The house is designed in the spirit of New England vernacular architecture, yet features passive solar design and geothermal heating & cooling. Siting the house with its long axis perpendicular to the road allowed for the optimum orientation for passive solar gain, while responding to the existing site features and dramatic views to the south & east.
The interior of the house features an open plan with Post and Beam structure. SIPS panel walls and icynene roof insulation were used to create a high performance building skin.
