Named after
the northern England hills, Lammermuir is located in
the foothills of the Green Mountains. The house is a
vanguard to combine energy efficient design with aesthetic
beauty. Conceived as a 16ft x 36ft rectangular core with
a stair block and a "saltbox" attached to each side, the
house has a small footprint, and is built into an east-west
slope to take advantage of solar gain and natural
topography. The design combines a traditional vernacular
style with modern simplicity and extreme attention to detail
using natural, locally sourced materials.
