The Albany
House is situated on an idyllic site overlooking
bucolic farmland in Vermont's North-East Kingdom. The
partially realized design program involved turning an existing
summer camp into a year-round residence. Active energy sources
supply power "off the grid" using solar panels and a wind
generator. New windows were designed to optimize passive
solar gain. To accomodate burning wood as a winter heat
source, a woodshed was added as a functional sculptural piece
to embrace the site like a cornucopia basket.
