Located in Colchester, Vermont, the Elemental House sits on a rural hillside property encircled by fern-carpeted woods with breathtaking views of the Green Mountains. The owners wanted a home surrounded by nature where they could relax with family and friends. The project was a highly designed energy-efficient residential new build using Nakamoto Forestry’s Shou Sugi Ban – Gendai 1x6 select grade shiplap, oiled with a Solar Shield Light Gray prefinish.
