Project #8640 - Martha's Vineyard


The Obama family is vacationing on Martha's Vineyard this week. The island has been getting a lot of press. See the following link for a story on CNNMoney.com that featured a home we built a few years back.

Project #9280 - Fayston, VT


This house was set in late June, 2009. Huntington Homes provided weather-tight "naked" boxes (framing, mechanical rough-in, insulation, mechanical rough-in, windows, cabinets, roofing, etc). The Owner and the Owner's contractor have done all interior and exterior finish trim work.

I look forward to seeing the completed interior of this house. The Owner and his contractor are sticklers for details. This will be a beautiful home when completed.

Low Energy Duplex


This duplex is in the planning stages and is to be built in Winooski, VT. The project has been designed by Israel Smith Architects of Burlington, VT. The design addresses the need for affordable, energy efficient urban infill housing.

The building envelope for this house has been designed as super-insulated. Walls will be 6" Dense Pack Cellulose wrapped with 4" of polyiso rigid foam. Roof will be 12" Dense Pack Cellulose under 4" of polyiso foam. The roof has been designed to support a planted "green roof" and house four photovoltaic solar panel arrays.

The objective of this project is that it will serve as a prototype for other infill projects.
