taconic residence
This house is located on a high wooded lot, overlooking Twin
Lakes. While presenting a two-story façade to the street, the
steep slope allows for three floors of living space to take full
advantage of the panoramic lake views. A screened porch
extends the main living area and affords a tree fort-like
setting up in the trees. A super-insulated exterior shell
coupled with a Tulikivi soapstone fireplace ensures
year-round energy efficiency and comfort.
