About This Project

The Joslin Hill Passive House, a distinguished single-family residence located in the picturesque Waitsfield, Vermont, exemplifies the pinnacle of modern sustainable living. Recognized as the 2018 Single Family Passive House of the Year by PHIUS and a recipient of accolades from both Efficiency Vermont and the Vermont Green Building Network, this home is a testament to thoughtful design and innovative construction. Commenced in 2016, the project was masterfully crafted by Kaplan Thompson Architects of Portland, Maine, with an unwavering commitment to accessibility, sustainability, and aesthetic appeal. This net-zero home is meticulously designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings while offering unparalleled comfort and livability. The architectural choices reflect a contemporary farmhouse style, blending traditional elements with modern efficiency. High-performance materials were utilized throughout the construction, ensuring exceptional thermal performance and energy efficiency. The exterior showcases a combination of durable, eco-friendly siding and roofing, creating an inviting façade that complements the Vermont landscape. Inside, the craftsmanship is evident in every detail, particularly in spaces like the elegantly designed farmhouse bathroom. Featuring a custom ADA steam shower with a linear drain, the bathroom not only prioritizes accessibility but also embodies a spa-like atmosphere that promotes relaxation. The selection of fixtures and finishes demonstrates a keen attention to quality and style, ensuring that every element contributes to the overall aesthetic harmony of the home. The outcome of the Joslin Hill Passive House is a seamless integration of sustainability and beauty, offering residents a tranquil retreat that meets the highest standards of energy efficiency. This project stands as an inspiring model for future developments, showcasing how innovative design can create homes that are not only environmentally responsible but also exquisitely livable.
