shoreline modern
ARCHITECT: Elizabeth Herrmann Architecture + Design PHOTOGRAPHY: Ryan Bent Photography
Sited among the maples on the shore of Lake Champlain, this contemporary home pairs a dark, board-formed exterior with warm wood accents that carry through to the interior. A dramatic cantilevered roofline and full-height glazing announce the entry, while inside, soaring ceilings, an open steel-and-cable stair, and a moody black kitchen set a quiet, tailored tone. Sliding walnut doors, polished concrete floors, and vast windows throughout give the home an atmosphere that's equal parts modern retreat and Vermont woodland calm.
