Bear Den

The weather this week has started to make us think about Spring here in the mountains of Vermont. We can’t wait to see these gardens grow and see our clients enjoy all their outdoor space.
What a great project designed by our friends at for some great clients. This house is tucked up in a private mountain setting with trails right out of the back door.
Landscape and hardscape installation was done by and it will be great to see all the perennials grow in over the years

Kitchen……

We often focus our social media on our impressive blower door results or sustainable and local materials, or building science and we often forget to share posts of finished spaces. So here is a sweet photo of the kitchen in one of the dreamy houses we have built.

We’re really looking forward to this upcoming project which is a collaboration between and

Perched on the shores of Lake Champlain, but also walkable to downtown Burlington, this is a unique and special location.

The high performance panels and design from are a perfect dovetail to our commitment to energy efficient and sustainable building.

We feel truly lucky to work with clients who share our values and trust us to build them a healthy, warm, cozy, and efficient forever home.

We can’t wait to document and share about this project as it comes together.

One thing we are not very good at is getting finished photos of our projects. We firmly believe we are good builders first and not the best at social media or flashy websites. Hopefully our work and our phone shots help convey what we do and what we do well. This photo is making sure we do get real photos of our work!

We consistently work with great clients and architects to build dreamy super energy efficient and sustainable homes throughout central Vermont. This we do well - not so great at video production or self promotion.

This awesome place won Best of the Best award for Residential New Construction in 2024. It has a -27 HERS rating(that’s absurdly good if you are unfamiliar)
Best part about the project was that we got two new friends out of building it and the entire project was a family affair. Can’t beat either of those things.
