Originally a building that was to serve as a storage barn for a van and lawn equipment turned into a place where guests can separate from the main house, make morning coffee and toast as well as be a music studio when unoccupied. This barn turned axillary space is powered by solar panels, open to inside out living, and compact spaces inside. The upper level is screened with clear roof panels and skip boards. Although it is contemporary, it nestles into the meadow and speaks to Vermont architecture as if it has always been in this spot.

Architect Dominique Lobjois of De Bilt Homes used a VELUX No Leak Solar Powered "Fresh Air" Skylight at the top of this stairwell to provide passive ventilation to this modern farmhouse. When open in conjunction with a window below, it creates the chimney effect in which warm air rises to escape from the skylight and cooler air is draw in through the window. Using passive ventilation can reduce dependence on electrical air conditioning.

Not only do ReAlta homes incorporate solar power and home automation, they also embody contemporary architecture rarely seen on the east coast. Cheslea Building Group approached TruGuard, looking for a contemporary exterior cladding that fit with their building techniques (in this case, low maintenance). James Hardie Artisan V-Groove and Nichiha VintageWood Fiber Cement immediately came to mind. The Artisan V-Groove is pre-primed and painted on site to fit with one of the pre-selected color palettes. The VintageWood on the other hand, comes in two pre-finished colors that mimic the natural beauty and texture of real wood without the maintenance requirements. Whatever your aesthetic needs, TruGuard can offer a variety of cladding solutions for your remodel or new construction home.
