Designed for a
couple with an interest in bringing the amenities and support
of community living close to home, the Thompson Road
House is built in the context of a village setting. The
house combines the classic lines and materials of a distinctly
Vermont style to further a tradition of building for
contemporary living. Many energy saving features were
incorporated in the design including a highly efficient double
stud wall construction, PV panels for solar electricity and
mini-split heat pump technology.
