This ski cabin needed a serious makeover. The client wanted a rustic and classic Vermont cabin feel. This ongoing project began with one room and turned into a whole-house rennovation. Custom wood furniture was built for every room in the house.
The house features live-edge cedar clapboard siding, standing seam metal roof, all new windows, a heated slate floor mudroom, fireplace masonry work, custom handrails, cedar decking, and hundreds of details. Our clients are still planning additional work for us, so stay tuned.
