This 2400 square foot home architecture renovation project came about after the residence had an electrical fire. Like most traditional farmhouses, this home consists of multiple additions. The core of the home contains 2 log cabins from the late 1700s with additions from the early 1800s and mid 1900s. With the home's history uncovered after a 95% gutting due to smoke and water damage, the home's contemporary renovation speaks to and displays historic aspects of the home. Sustainable building design components included in this home are: high R-value insulation, vapor barrier, mini-split HVAC system, Renewal by Andersen windows and doors, LED lighting with multiple occupancy controls, water saving fixtures, recycled materials and reused materials.
