Carbin Residence
Shaftsbury, Vermont

This house is set on a large south sloping site with panoramic views of Bennington and the Green Mountains. The challenge was to create a “farm house” that took advantage of the views but also felt connected to the site. The final articulation of the house became a blending of the design sensibilities of the English owners and typical New England farmhouse forms. The entrance to the house masks the tremendous view. The 2 storey entrance space with curved stairs opens into living and dining areas set to take advantage of these long range views to the south and east. The master bedroom orients to closer and more intimate views to the west. The interior is a mix of formal and relaxed spaces. The main entry, living and dining rooms are treated with molded trim and corners while the family room area is post and beam construction. Brick walks and patios are combined with a stone tile screen porch and large field stone entrance paths.
