A Zum in Stowe, Vermont

Stowe, Vermont

Description

These homeowners set out to build a net zero energy home in the Vermont mountains, close to skiing and perfect for family gatherings. In the summer of 2023, their high-performance Zum shell was raised, achieving an impressive 0.83 blower door test before finishes were added. With 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, an office, garage, spacious open living area, and mudroom with plenty of gear storage, this home is the ultimate Vermont getaway—designed for year-round living. This Zum’s contemporary design has large windows for show-stopping views across the entire home. Natural light is abundant throughout the interior, where exposed posts and timbers in the kitchen complement a modern mono-pitch roof and the Zum's signature living room bump-out.
