LEDGE AND EDGE

This property combines classic features of the Vermont landscape incorporating both forested woodlands and mature farm meadow. Separating the lot from the neighboring meadow is a defined hedgerow of primarily deciduous trees. The ideal house location is the high point of land which takes advantage of southern exposure and a sweep of view which includes the Worcester Mountain range in the distance. The approach winds through a mixed meadow woods setting and then emerges to reveal these features.  The initial concepts utilize the high point which is also an outcrop of ledge as the anchor for the house which projects out to the drop of the land and back yard area. Living areas both inside and out are oriented towards the sun and views.
