This piece began as an elegant dining room table and has since been converted into wall art. Adam designed this piece to feel alive and it does, mounted under a skylight with the sun light bouncing off the lacquer and Blue Pearl throughout the day and at night in the moonlight.
The outside portion is zinc, which was hand sanded with gracefully arched motions to give the material a sense of fluid movement. The gloss lacquer finish brings to life the feeling and motion of water which carries over to the hand cut granite center inlay. The inlay is a combination of the shimmering Blue Pearl Granite and Absolute Black Granite in varying circular patterns.

This monumental floating staircase rises three full levels in front of a massive window wall. Thick oak treads are supported by double, black stringers that rise from the floor, creating a bold architectural statement. The open-riser design allows natural light from the expansive windows to flood through all levels, illuminating the surrounding interior spaces. Vertical metal balusters complete the modern aesthetic, maintaining transparency while providing safety. The U-shaped configuration and cantilevered construction transform what could be a simple vertical connection into a dramatic focal point that celebrates both structure and light.

At the end of a dirt road in southern Vermont is a stunning timber and stone residence designed to resemble a small medieval Anglo-Norman manor house originally constructed in the 16th century. According to the owners, a husband and wife with a keen interest in both ancient and modern architecture, the 5,000 sq. ft. home was built slowly over eleven years by highly skilled craftsmen in order to complete all of the authentic hand-planed interior details. The craftsmen then spent an additional two years building the adjacent “ancient“ barn. “We always knew we wanted to take down a delapidated 19th-century hay barn and replace it with something of the period of the house,“ the husband said.
The owners designed the barn and began to consider zinc for the roof after looking at northern European architecture and discovering that zinc has been used extensively in Europe for 300 years. Approximately 4,200 sq. ft. of RHEINZINK prePATINA bright rolled Double Lock Standing Seam Roof Panels were utilized to roof the white oak structure. The bright rolled material was selected deliberately in order to achieve the “naturally aged look“ that the owners were seeking. “It’s gone almost immediately to a soft grey which is what we hoped would happen. As the years go by, the color of the weathering white oak and the aging zinc will come together in a dusty grey. Seeing this building in the fog five years from now will feel like seeing a 500-year-old ghost barn floating in the hills of Vermont.“
Installation of the RHEINZINK panels was done by Cold Hollow Contracting, Burlington, VT. “These folks had serious zinc-roofing experience and were clearly the most craft-oriented of all the roofers we met with,“ according to the husband.
The main focus was getting an “old look“ as quickly as possible, said Tim Heaghney, co-owner of Cold Hollow Contracting. “That’s really what makes the bright rolled so special—it ages quickly. We fabricated the 28 ft. panels on site and did the flashing fabrication in our shop. Many of the normal sheet metal skills apply to the zinc although we relied heavily on the RHEINZINK installation manual as well as personal support from their technical people. We used a radius cut and fold at the eve termination as opposed to the typical detail used in steel and copper where it‘s just cut at the 90 for the drip edge. The roof was steep but we do a lot of steeples and domes so we’re comfortable working at heights.“
The installers also utilized RHEINZINK’s AIR-Z structured underlayment to provide an air-gap behind the zinc.
The RHEINZINK distributor on the project was Beacon Sales, Shelburne, VT
