Nestled on a two-acre property in the Robinson Springs neighborhood, this incredible mountain home underwent a contemporary renovation by Cushman Design Group and overlooks Mount Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak. The 4,000-square-foot house takes full advantage of the site’s breathtaking earthly and otherworldly views, reestablishes the home’s aesthetic in a distinctly contemporary direction, and improves energy efficiency.
The collaborative process drew upon the capabilities and craftsmanship of the entire project team, including the owners, general contractor, structural engineer, observatory consultant, metalwork fabricators, and landscape contractor.

Modern Exterior with Custom Observatory Dome
Above: A custom-built observatory dome gives this hillside home a striking new look. Varying rooflines break up the shape of what was once a plain house, adding interest to every side. Bigger windows maximize beautiful mountain views, making the scenery feel like part of the home itself.
Two-Story Great Room with Mountain Views
Above: Removing an upper story gave the great room its soaring ceiling and let in abundant light through new windows.
Above: In the living room, a cherished pewter collection fills the open shelves beside the fireplace.
Above: The great room features an inviting, neutral color scheme that, rather than competing with nature, invites it in.

Updated Kitchen with Reclaimed Barn Timbers

What We Love About This Home
The observatory dome is what sets this home apart, turning a mountain retreat into a place for stargazing as much as scenery. Varying rooflines and a thoughtful mix of materials give the exterior character without losing its connection to the landscape. Inside, the great room’s soaring ceiling and wall of windows bring the mountains right into the living space.
