Vermont Timber Frame Residence
Open Area - Living & Dining Area
The views being spectacular LFI designed the house with uninterrupted viewing . To enjoy the Vermont landscape built-in window seats were designed to cover the perimeter of the space . The surface of the window seats are part honed slate and wood with open storage below for art objects, books, and blankets. The hearth is the center of the space. The stone material for the fireplace is indigenous to Vermont. Rocking chairs made by Vt. artisans are naturally placed in front of the fireplace. Hunter green cushioned stoned benches hug the fireplace. Trees are the theme LFI uses throughout the space in many natural forms as well as design motif. The custom designed dining room table base is a maple tree root with a glass top . LFI designed the glass top to show the changing of the maple leaf colors thru the four seasons. The dining chairs by Summerhill Ltd. are red with hand carved pinecones as the decorative motif. LFI uses colors indicative of Vermont for furniture, fabrics, lighting and accessories - hunter greens, reds, yellows, and blues are seen throughout the space. LFI also uses lighting reminiscent of period New England. The drapery, as well as, the decorative pillows are all crewel floral fabric from Lee Jofa.
