This modern retreat is a sustainable home design commissioned by architectural studio Smith & Vansant Architects, located in Vermont. The residence is nestled on an expansive meadow landscape, surrounded by grasses and a forest of mature trees. The exterior facade of the home is a beautiful display of modern, clean lines. It is constructed with a combination of materials, including aluminum, metal, concrete and wood accents.

Painted in white with touches of gray and wood stain accents, the beauty of the exterior is the simplicity that compliments the variety in the landscape. The home also features a rectangular swimming pool. The interior of the pool is darker, giving the appearance of a lake—a perfect touch to add to the beautiful meadow landscape.

The interior of this 5,400-square-foot home is exquisite using a neutral color palette with modern details in the interior design and decorating.  Sleek cabinetry, tile, wood flooring, metal beams, and wood accents throughout the home extend the unique, modern look of the exterior to the interior.

Modern touches with furniture, lighting, fixtures, and accent pieces adorn each room of the house, completing the all-inclusive modern design, making this ‘modern meadow retreat’ the ultimate modern dream home occupying the most coveted scenic landscape.
