This brand new, energy-efficient home was designed by Battle Associates Architects, located on beautiful Lake Champlain, Vermont. Perched on a bluff, the property features spectacular views to the Adirondack Mountains. A celebration of timber construction, this modernized version of a Victorian-era stick style-inspired home features a copper clad chimney and copper roof.
All the living spaces are anchored by views to the water and circulation around the great room volume. Chestnut wood interiors and walnut floors provided warm and complimentary interior finishes. This sustainable house is ultra-insulated, heated and cooled by geothermal technology, while solar photovoltaic panels assist in operating the house.
What We Love: This energy-efficient home features a beautiful exterior facade that is warm and inviting. Overlooking Lake Champlain and beyond to the Adirondack Mountains, the peaceful surroundings creates an ideal living environment. On the interiors, the heavy use of wood adds warmth, while cozy furnishings creates a welcoming atmosphere.

Above: In the living room, a large stone clad fireplace and beautiful wood finish anchors this double-height space. The stone is an Adirondack Natural Stone sourced from Whitehall, New York. Illuminating from above is an orb chandelier from Restoration Hardware. White trim around the windows really pops against the wood paneling.
