From the dramatic IPE siding to the oversized patio doors and rooftop patio, this 5,000 sf home on the waterway is the ultimate family beach house. The interior living areas all focus on the dramatic views overlooking the water and each bedroom has oversized windows that allow lots of natural light. There is a large wrap around porch on the main level and private balconies off bedrooms, as well as the dramatic rooftop patio that offers 360 degree views.

This house is discreetly tucked into its wooded site in the Mad River Valley near the Sugarbush Resort in Vermont. The soaring roof lines complement the slope of the land and open up views though large windows to a meadow planted with native wildflowers. The house was built with natural materials of cedar shingles, fir beams and native stone walls. These materials are complemented with innovative touches including concrete floors, composite exterior wall panels and exposed steel beams. The home is passively heated by the sun, aided by triple pane windows and super-insulated walls. Photo by: Nat Rea Photography

The house was sited to use the topography to its benefit and improve its design and function. Privacy between different spaces was enhanced with a slight vertical separation between the master wing and the main level and with a greater separation between the main level and the guest suites below. The two main stories are not only connected internally but also on the exterior through winding landscape steps. Photographer: Emily Minton Redfield

The site descends from the street and is privileged with dynamic natural views toward a creek below and beyond. To incorporate the existing landscape into the daily life of the residents, the house steps down to the natural topography. A continuous and jogging retaining wall from outside to inside embeds the structure below natural grade at the front with flush transitions at its rear facade. All indoor spaces open up to a central courtyard which terraces down to the tree canopy, creating a readily visible and occupiable transitional space between man-made and nature. The courtyard scheme is simplified by two wings representing common and private zones - connected by a glass dining “bridge." This transparent volume also visually connects the front yard to the courtyard, clearing for the prospect view, while maintaining a subdued street presence. The staircase acts as a vertical “knuckle,” mediating shifting wing angles while contrasting the predominant horizontality of the house. Crips materiality and detailing, deep roof overhangs, and the one-and-half story wall at the rear further enhance the connection between outdoors and indoors, providing nuanced natural lighting throughout and a meaningful framed procession through the property.

Ausgangssituation Ein auf dem Grundstück bestehender Ferienbungalow aus den 1950er Jahren musste dem Neubau eines Einfamilienhauses für eine junge vierköpfige Familie weichen. Der Einsatz von natürlichen Materialien, wie Holz, Naturstein, Dämmstoffen aus Holzwolle, etc. war den Bauherren sehr wichtig. Dieser Umstand und die landwirtschaftlich geprägte Umgebung gaben dem Gebäude seine Form und sein Erscheinungsbild. Konstruktion, energetisches und ökologisches Konzept Das voll unterkellerte Gebäude steht auf einem schmalen, langgestreckten Grundstück und öffnet sich nach Südwesten, über eine beheizbare Pfosten- Riegel- Fassade mit Dreifachverglasung. Alle statischen Konstruktionselemente, wie Wände, Decken und das Dach, bestehen aus Dickholzplatten. Lediglich die tragenden Innenwände im Erdgeschoss wurden aus Kalksandstein errichtet. Die so generierte „Speichermasse“, eine kontrollierte Be- und Entlüftung mit Wärmerückgewinnung, sowie auf den Innenwänden angebrachte Wandheizmodule tragen zu einem behaglichen Wohnklima bei. Für das Gebäude wurde überwiegend heimisches Holz aus der Produktion eines nahe gelegenen Holzverarbeitungsbetriebes verwendet. Alle Konstruktions- und Verkleidungshölzer wurden unbehandelt eingebaut. Die Wärmeversorgung erfolgt über eine zentrale Pelletheizung. Die auf dem Dach angeordneten Sonnenkollektoren dienen sowohl der Warmwasserbereitung als auch der Heizungsunterstützung. Über eine Regenwasserzisterne werden die Spülkästen der Toiletten und die Waschmaschine mit gesammeltem Niederschlagswasser versorgt. Das Gertenwasser wird ebenso über die Zisterne bereitgestellt.

House Exterior with Wood Cladding Ideas and Designs

With so much attention devoted to interior design, the exterior of a home can often get overlooked, but as the first thing that welcomes both us and our guests, it is worth devoting some time tending to the outside of your house. Furthermore, focusing on the kerb appeal of your home can add significant value if and when it comes time to sell up. Georgian, Edwardian and Victorian homes, with their bay windows and elegant plasterwork, often benefit from built in architecture advantages, but even if your house design is unassuming from the outside, small decorative and structural improvements to the exterior of your home can equal huge impact. Key areas of building design to focus on are the front door, the driveway or approach to your home, the porch area, the windows, the facade and the roof. And just a note of caution... before any significant exterior architecture gets under way, check first whether you need planning permission for your exterior house designs– this applies particularly to listed houses or buildings in a conservation area, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. Take a look through the house designs, exterior architecture and images of front doors and driveways on Houzz to inspire your facade or building design, or read on for a few more pointers when it comes to redesigning your exterior.

How do I give my home an exterior facelift?

You may feel like your home’s exterior architecture is unalterable but there are a wide range of options available to improve its external building design, no matter what raw materials you begin with. Begin with the front door and the pathway or driveway that lead up to your home as these are easy to improve without huge budgets. A driveway or pathway must be kept neat and tidy and you can consider replacing tarmac with attractive tiles or gravel. Repainting or replacing the fence, wall or gate that fronts your home can also offer an overnight transformation without breaking the bank. An area to not cut corners however is the front door, where spending a little extra can make a huge difference in quality, and painting it in a colour you love will pay you back every time it welcomes you home! Updating your windows can be a significant building design project but it is one that has benefits both inside and out, as well as potentially saving you money on energy later. If you are lucky enough to have period windows such as bay windows with sash or leaded windows, then maintaining them should be a top priority, but if they are beyond repair then there are plenty of window professionals that will offer modern, double or triple glazed equivalents that could still work in your bay window. Working with uPVC? Not a problem – the best improvement you can make is to ensure your windows are the right size and shape for your home's overall proportions.

How do I update my home’s facade?

When it comes to updating the facade of your home, painting is the quickest and most affordable way to achieve a makeover, and if you opt for a colour other than white it can really make a statement (although sticking within the palette of your road and local area is advisable). A makeover that requires a bit more patience but can add romance and character to the most mundane of homes is to adorn the walls with climbing plants – delicate trailing wisteria is ever a British favourite, whilst roses and jasmine offer fragrance as well as beauty. If you’re looking to make more significant changes to the exterior of your home, whether that is adding timber cladding, hanging tiles, installing a bay window or rendering, then you should first check whether your house designs require planning permission. A New England style wood boarded home is beautiful and bright, but remember that it will need frequent repainting if it is going to stay looking its best, whilst stucco render or Tyrolean render can tidy up a home's exterior but think carefully before covering over original brickwork.

What should I consider if building a home from scratch?

If you’re working with an architect on a brand new build, the options are endless when it comes to deciding on the exterior architecture. But first things first, you will need to check planning permissions, building regulations and local restrictions, such as being in a conservation area, to make sure your plans for your exterior house designs will meet stipulations. If you are building in a street with predominantly Victorian facades, with bay windows and side returns, you might need to ensure your house designs fit in with the rest of the homes on the street, but if you’re building in a more remote area you’ll probably have more freedom for your building design. There are many architectural decisions to make, do you want a flat, gabled, hipped, mansard or perhaps even a curved roof? Do you want bay windows? Crittall windows? Perhaps external shutters? Do you want glass walls? Do you want wood cladding? Do you want a very symmetrical building design or something more contemporary? The decision is all yours but remember to consider the benefits of various materials over others and the effects that some architecture styles will have on everyday life, for example glass walls will look attractive but will give you less privacy. Your architect or builder will be able to guide you through the best exterior architecture choices for your house designs.
