A wintertime dream taking shape in Montpelier. 🏂A new addition we designed to expand a covered porch, wellness room and new entry. ❄️ Warm tones of thermally modified wood and a Bethel Stone waterline skirt complement the existing and new Hardie siding with 4” of continuous insulation and rain screen behind. More surprises await in the spring and summer to come!

Looking back at a year of collaboration. 💡💡

The best part of this job isn't the buildings; it's the people. Grateful for every client who trusted us with their vision in 2025. From renovations in Montpelier to new visions in the Northeast Kingdom, it’s been a privilege.

Looking forward to what 2026 brings.

Wishing you warmth, light, and peace today.From our studio to your home, Happy Holidays.- Stephen

Pause. Breathe. 🌲

The holiday rush is real, but nature is the ultimate reset button. Taking a moment today to appreciate the quiet beauty of the Green Mountains.

Hope you find a moment of peace in the woods or waters edge this week.

Hygge, Vermont style. 🔥

When the sun sets at 4:30 PM, your home's lighting plan becomes everything. We design interiors to be bright and uplifting during the day, and warm and intimate at night.

Your home should be your battery recharger.

The #1 mistake people make when planning a custom home? Waiting until spring to call an architect.

By then, the best builders are booked. The time to plan is now, while the ground is frozen.

This gift showed up this week from .insulatebetter of Maine. A new sample of their TimberBoard climate positive insulation product. Bio-based and carbon sequestrating, it’s finally here. are you carrying these products yet for Vermont builders to use and architects to specify? Or hopefully will soon? A builder owner we worked with in used TimberBatts for the first time this year on a new home project we designed. 🌲🌲

We love using locally sourced materials. They ground the house in the region and lower the carbon footprint. Plus, there is a warmth to natural materials that "modern" design sometimes forgets.

Modern doesn't have to mean cold. In Vermont, it should feel like a hug.

On the boards: Solving the snow load puzzle. 🧩

Modern design in Vermont isn't just about clean lines; it's about physics. We’re modeling this roof to shed heavy snow away from walkways while keeping the aesthetic sharp and minimal.
