Nestled along the picturesque shores of Lake Champlain, Vermont, this newly built, eco-friendly house was created by Battle Associates Architects. Perched on a bluff, the property features spectacular views of 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.

Views of the water and circulation around the great room volume anchor all the living spaces. 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 create an ideal living environment. The heavy use of wood adds warmth to the interiors, while cozy furnishings create 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.
