The story of
the house@elmgrove_farm begins with a beautiful
setting on the hills of eastern Vermont... and a dream.
Built on the land of a family farm, the house draws upon the
vernacular of existing buildings and exploits stunning views
from the site. A variety of locally sourced materials
was used in the construction and finish work, from ash wood
flooring and trim to a native stone chimney. Detailing
was meticulously executed, with proportions and geometric
patterns echoing throughout the design. The house was
built to the highest standards of efficiency, achieving a five
star Vermont certified energy rating.
