Perched to capture sweeping vistas, this contemporary architectural masterpiece seamlessly balances the demands of a world-class art collection with an immersive natural experience. The residence is brilliantly composed of three intersecting bars: a single-room-deep main volume that captures the views, a service wing and a perpendicular upper level that hovers to create a sheltered dining terrace below. Guided by museum-quality principles, long stretches of UV-protected wall space give way to precisely framed vistas. Board-formed concrete walls mitigate winter winds, while the exterior is clad in enduring, low-maintenance Vermont slate. Embracing sustainable luxury, the three-bedroom, two-study home features triple-glazed windows, super-insulated envelopes, and geothermal climate control.
