Groundswell Architects: The Frost House

Residential: The Frost House


			Program Overview A structure in central Vermont using solar storage, super insulation, passive solar collection, curving forms and whimsy to create a home for family of five. The house has been remodeled twice over a twenty year period, each time advancing the environmental and energy conserving features. Design Features Set into a hill on the north, the structure uses a curved roof form to facilitate an improved ventilation system by creating a low pressure zone on the north side of the roof. A studio to the east and bedroom to the west on the second floor use the rounded forms, which become dining and music spaces on the first floor.
