Design a new single family home on a breathtaking high bluff site with 270 degree views ranging from the southern Adirondack peaks, up Lake Champlain to the north, and across to the Green Mountain peaks of Mt. Mansfield and Camel’s Hump. Access to the site is via a picturesque private drive through woodlands and fields and a mix of short and long vistas. Locally quarried redstone was to be used for exterior siding. Context includes the pastoral landscape and reknowned buildings of Shelburne Farms.
This property’s history included many small farms and homesteads that were combined to create one of the largest estates in America prior to the turn of the 20th century. The idea was to design two smaller forms representing the likely scale of their 19th century predecessors and connect them with a larger form that creates the central mass of the modern house. Familiar forms and wonderfully tactile materials such as stone, slate and shingles, interpreted and used in contemporary ways, in conjunction with impeccable craftsmanship, have combined to create a warm and welcoming home.
