A sustainably reconstructed home located in a residential neighborhood of Burlington, Vermont.

Architecture

Clad in FSC clear vertical grain cedar with custom wood windows and metal details, the renovation includes an entry hallway, bedroom wing, and stair addition that bookends the three cascading gable forms. A new wood-fired sauna building anchors the rear yard terrace space.

Interiors

The end-grain larch flooring was reclaimed from sunken logs in Idaho and the teak soaking tub and vanity were sustainably harvested. Paints and clear coat stains were low-VOC and natural fiber fabric was used throughout including at roller shades, curtains and rugs.

Inspiration

Inspired by the urban environment within the natural landscape.
