Expansive Meets Cozy in
Shingle-Style Home

 

"I wanted a family room almost like I was living outdoors. I wanted to live as if I were in a terrarium," says the homeowner.

The back of the house is where most of the living takes place. It's a less formal, more open space achieved with a 22' by 16' wall of glass that overlooks the wetlands. The honey hue of natural fir warms the beams and ceiling, keeping the overscaled room down to earth. The fieldstone fireplace adds to the sense of being in a Vermont chalet.
