Orchard House

Architect: Greg Robinson, AIA
Cascade Joinery

Total Sq. Ft.: 1597  Bedrooms: 3  Baths: 2.0

This home is a testament to the belief that size and budget are not limiting factors for good design, and that a home can be both satisfying and beautiful as long as it responds to its site, and to the owner's lifestyle and budget. Small can be beautiful, as this house clearly demonstrates.

Creekside Retreat

Architect: Jon Rentfrow
Rentfrow Residential Design

Total Sq. Ft.: 3321  Bedrooms: 2  Baths: 2.5

This home exudes both warmth and stability, thanks to the combination of stone veneer, wood shingles, wood timber posts, and wood corbel detailing on the exterior. The interior has an open layout with plenty of windows and deck space, and it features two fireplaces – one in the family room and one in the hearth room – to warm the home during colder seasons.

Equinox

Architect: D.R. Coleman, AIA
Passive Solar Design

Total Sq. Ft.: 2333  Bedrooms: 3  Baths: 2.0

The Equinox home is a best seller, and it was included in the National Tour of Solar Homes soon after it was built. There are patios and porches (screened or covered) on all four sides of this distinctive home. The entire living area (living room, dining area, kitchen and den) is vaulted, and these rooms are filled with an abundance of natural light. If you wish to take advantage of its passive solar design, the front of this house should face south.

Good Morning 2

Architect: Ed Kriskywicz
Construction Design

Total Sq. Ft.: 2423  Bedrooms: 3  Baths: 2.5

Good Morning 2 has been revised from the original in a number of small but potentially important ways. The 2–car garage has been extended to accommodate 3 vehicles; the study has been extended to create a theater room; and the full bath near the laundry has been reduced to a half bath to make room for a larger walk–in closet in the master suite.

Maple Knoll

Architect: Francis Sullivan
Francis Sullivan Architect

Total Sq. Ft.: 2762  Bedrooms: 4  Baths: 2.5

Originally designed for an energy efficient specialty builder, this two–story craftsman style house won an award from Efficiency Vermont. Red cedar shingles and decorative trim provide a slightly rustic look to this exceptional home. The many windows and expansive feeling on the first floor prove that a house need not be a windowless box to meet high standard energy codes, and leave a small carbon footprint.
