KPAC house is located on an idyllic site with panoramic views of the Green Mountains of Vermont. Designed to meet the needs of clients with an interest in an environmentally friendly energy efficient building, the house takes advantage of climate, location, solar orientation and views. The structure of the house integrates the classic vernacular lines and tradition of post and beam framing with structural insulated panels to provide a maximum of efficiency and durability. Natural, locally sourced materials were used in both the structure and finish details.
