Slide-By House
All-electric house consisting of two long 18’ wide gable forms sit next to each other with a 9’ overlap. One end contains living spaces; the other end contains bedrooms. The simple forms and low profile minimize the intrusion on what has been a field for 200+ years. The siding is locally cut eastern white pine; the roofing is common 5-V Crimp galvalume, both materials common to local barns and agrarian buildings. Kinsella Building Co.

Blueberry II
A 200’ long granite ledge runs N/S on the site. A previous 70’s house was placed directly on the ledge, running N/S and completely obscuring the granite outcrop. The new house bisects the ledge at a right angle, providing long open glass areas to the south and an entry court to the north. A super-insulated envelope, all-electric mechanical equipment, and 19kW solar array will allow this house to be at or near net zero energy. Granville Builders, Builder. Interior finish by Owner.
