Built
like a castle on the threshold of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom
in the mist of the lakes and trails of Craftsbury Common, the
LNR House serves as the home for a family who enjoy
both the rigors of outdoor activity and the contemplation of
books. Designed for Dan, Kristen and Viola to meet Passive
House standards, the house is constructed of Structural
Insulated Panels (SIPs) and, instead of a basement, rests on a
thermal heat storage mass of sand. The project brings together
a house and a barn/workshop. These buildings include lofty
ceilings and 8-foot doors to accommodate Dan's 6'-7" stature,
while retaining a traditional vernacular style of Vermont.
