Birdseye Design

Birdseye Design strikes a unique balance between innovation and tradition, structure and nature. Each Birdseye home reflects the landscapes and communities in which the home is built and benefits from the company’s pioneering role in green energy and sustainable building in Vermont.

With a keen awareness of our increasingly fragile environment, the Birdseye team artfully embraces practicality and sustainability. The award-winning work draws on a range of design styles and traditions, bringing to life the vision of each client.

Principal architect, Brian J. Mac, AIA, works alongside other Birdseye artisans, including carpenters, woodworkers, and blacksmiths. This open workshop environment fuels collaboration and a dynamic design process, which results in one-of-a-kind creations of beauty and originality.

    asicengineer Some people are worried about leaks into the basement and I suppose that this could happen, but at our house we have a pool right up against the foundation and yes our basement has flooded, but never from the pool. It has flooded from a hurricane, from a broken pipe, and from a laundry incident which is why we have tile and cheapo area rugs down there so damage is minimal. It is a basement after all. As far as the pool goes, our contractor put in a layer of pink foam to separate it thermally and physically from the foundation and of course made sure that any rain or snow overflow would be on the side of the pool away from the house. Actually in that way the pool acts as an exposed 'french drain' that prevents any water from touching the foundation, even during the hurricane.

    atomicsplitlevel I am currently painting a section of my mid-century split level in a very deep gray that looks black in most light from the street. This article really helped solidify my decision through the excellent selection of examples and all of the positive comments. Thanks, I will post photo when done!

    alliray Birdseye Design, everything made by man has a price tag. These doors are beautiful and whoever made them is truly gifted. These photos were placed on houzz for inspiration, promotion and eye candy, so if someone wishes to obtain one like this or close to it, i don't see why you can't give an idea of the cost. Believe me, there are persons who can and will afford it if they want it bad enough. Are your pieces one of a kind? Are they copyrighted? Are they made according to inspiration? in which case it's difficult to make a copy? Whatever the reason, please say so that those of us who really appreciate your wonderful doors could stop asking price etc.
