Smith & Vansant Architect has crafted this stunning contemporary retreat that embodies sustainable home design principles, located in Norwich, Vermont. The residence is nestled amidst an expansive meadow landscape, surrounded by tall grasses and a canopy of mature trees, blending harmoniously with its natural surroundings. The home’s exterior facade is a beautiful display of modern, clean lines. It is constructed with a combination of materials that include aluminum, metal, concrete, and wood accents.

Painted in white with touches of gray and wood stain accents, the beauty of the exterior is the simplicity that compliments the variety in the landscape. The home also features a rectangular swimming pool. The interior of the pool is darker, giving the appearance of a lake—a perfect touch to add to the beautiful meadow landscape.
