Double awards this year! Our All Wood, All the Time project was also selected for an AIA Maine Honor Award. This lakefront residence in Connecticut capitalizes on the carbon-sequestering nature of wood to minimize its carbon footprint. With a cross-laminated structural system and wood fiber-based products making up all of the above-grade insulation, this approach to building uses the most sustainable resource we have to its full potential.
The single-level design concentrates the living spaces with efficient private spaces tucked behind. A stepped façade affords every room a lake view.
From the Jury:
Marrying of sustainability and design into a modern clean form. Thoughtful and controlled use of materials
