Ski Mountain Magazine Home
The "barn-like" concept
and plans for the Ebel Residence came directly from Ski Magazine's 1998
Mountain Home of the year. As we were asked by Ski Magazine to design a "dream
house" for the mountains, we were asked by the Ebels to modify the
design to...
The home features
an 8´ x 8´ "lantern" centered in the entry and stairway
to bring light and life into the core of the circulation and living areas.
When standing in the main entry, one looks through a pair of "french
doors" into and through the 14´ x 16´ screened porch.
To the right of the
entry is the mud room, kitchen, dining and living room wing. To the left
of the entry are the powder room and the main level guest bedroom suite.
The main level ceilings are 9' high with Marvin door and window head height
of 8'. The living room...
ceiling is two stories
high with windows facing Mt. Mansfield and the Green Mountain Range. Also
featured is the central masonry element with a fireplace in the family
room at the lower level, the two sided fireplace servicing the dining room
and living room,
and a fireplace in
the master bedroom. Eastern White Pine, stained to create age, is used
for the wood floors throughout the home. Eastern White Pine is also used
for the living room, dining room and kitchen ceilings, for the running
trim and for the...
interior doors. Complementary
staining and pickling techniques were used to create a different "touch" on
all wood surfaces. The upper level landing and library area are part of
the master bedroom suite and are naturally day lighted by the "lantern" and
by access...
to a covered porch
looking south to The Trapp Family Lodge some 6 miles away. The design of
this home reflects our commitment to the use of natural materials, generous
introduction of day lighting into all living areas and a visual...
connection to the
unique qualities of the site.
