Two Step

Two Step is a single-family home built on 19 acres in a small Vermont village. The project consists of two, identical gabled buildings on a hillside meadow. The structures, the home and a garage, are minimalist versions of the iconic Vermont vernacular, stripped down to highlight the beauty of the gabled form. The buildings have matching open corners, which give them a sculptural quality. In the home, the opening houses a corner of floor to ceiling windows, pulling the view into the living space. The garage opening houses a large screened in porch, facing out toward the meadow. The two buildings are intentionally offset, framing the outdoor spaces and curating the home's view corridors. The garage is carefully sited to block views of neighboring structures, creating a private courtyard and directing the views from the open corners towards the meadow.
