RES4 Vermont Cabin
Jamaica, VT, United States
Type
YEAR
2009
SIZE
1000 sqft - 3000 sqft
Isolated in the
Green Mountain National Forest of Vermont, this 1,650 sf prefab home is an
escape for a retired Brooklyn couple.
With no electric or cell phone service, this ‘Off-the-Grid’ home
functions as the common gathering space for the couple, their three grown
children and grandchildren to get away and spend quality time together.
The client, an
avid mushroom hunter and connoisseur, often transverses the 200 acre property
for the delicacy, then returns to her home which rests on the top of the
mini-mountain. With stunning views of nearby Stratton Mountain, the home is a
‘Head & Tail’ design, where the communal space is the ‘head’, and the
private bar of bedrooms and baths forms the longer ‘tail’. Together they form
an ‘L’, creating an outdoor terrace to capture the western sun and to enjoy the
exterior fireplace which is clad in cement board panels, and radiates heat
during the cool summer evenings. Just
inside, is the expansive kitchen, living, and dining areas, perfect for
preparing meals for their guests. This communal space is wrapped with a custom
Baltic Birch bookshelf and window bench so one can soak up the south sun and
view of the fern meadow and surrounding wilderness. With dark bamboo floors
over radiant heating, and a wood-burning fireplace, the living area is as cozy
as can be. The exterior is clad in a maintenance-free corrugated Corten Kynar
painted metal panel system to withstand the harsh Vermont winters. Accents of
cedar siding add texture and tie the strategically placed windows together.
The home is powered by a 3,000 KwH solar
array with a back-up generator in case the sun is hidden for an extended period
of time. A hybrid insulation system, combining both a closed cell spray foam
insulation and batt insulation, along with radiant floor heat ensures the home
stays airtight and warm in the winter.
