We designed this 6,800 square foot family retreat in
northwest Connecticut as a “100-year house” by using high-quality materials and
details that will allow the house to age elegantly while requiring a minimum of
energy to keep it comfortable in all seasons.
It blends a traditional Shaker-inspired form, durable materials, and
common-sense approaches to passive heating and cooling with very modern
construction techniques and technologies to achieve these goals, and was
awarded a LEED-Silver rating.

The walls and roof of the house are made of structural
insulated panels (SIPS,) providing uniformly high insulation throughout without
allowing moisture inside walls. A custom stainless-steel awning for the
living room’s sliding door wall is designed to let winter sun deep into the
house while shading it during the summer.
Heating and cooling are provided by a geothermal system, and a heat
recovery ventilation system provides precisely-controlled fresh air ventilation. Materials and finishes
were selected to optimize indoor air quality and minimize environmental impact,
including sustainably harvested wood for floors and interior trim, water-based
finishes and paints, and non-formaldehyde panel materials.
