This home is an example of the historic Vermont tradition of connecting building sections in the farmhouse style, but with a contemporary flair. The contrasting colors and textures of the exterior materials further this idea of the modern farmhouse.

The use of refined materials and design in the main living areas of the home give way to the more rustic timber framed entertainment center of the "barn". There is also a subtle sprinkling of rustic materials amongst the more polished contemporary finishes in a comfortable way that blends old ideas with new.

The gentle use of stone and plantings help both tie and anchor the building form to the landscape.
