Meadow House
A contemporary New England home with traditional massing and a high-performance envelope.
The challenge
The site was open and wind-exposed, with strict energy performance targets.
Homeowner goals
- Capture southern light
- Keep the form quiet from the road
- Build a durable, tight envelope
The Northline solution
Simple gabled volumes were arranged to shelter an entry courtyard, with glazing concentrated to the south and a continuous exterior insulation layer.
