The Right House
Architecture Design Award in 2022 . Another notable project is the Black & Light House in Stowe , Vermont . The home ’ s open loft space over the living and dining area evokes the spaciousness of local barn interiors , while the passageway connecting the detached garage to the main house is reminiscent of the region ’ s historic covered bridges . The exterior features low-maintenance black corrugated steel . Hunt ’ s portfolio also includes renovation projects , including a classic 1970s raised-ranch-style home near Stowe Mountain Resort . The renovation involved a full interior gut and a comprehensive update to the home ’ s energy system . The interior was redesigned to create a large , open living space by removing small , compartmentalized rooms .
Hunt ’ s innovative approach is also wonderfully demonstrated through more unconventional projects , such as the Edson Hill treehouse at Edson Hill Resort in Stowe . The treehouse ’ s design incorporates a structural system that allows it to move gently with the surrounding trees without causing any harm , making it a welcome addition to the landscape .
As Vermont continues to lead the way in sustainable architecture , Harry Hunt remains at the forefront of this movement . His involvement with initiatives like the AIA 2030 Commitment and his certification as a Passive House designer highlight his dedication to reducing energy use and carbon emissions through his architectural work . “ Vermont has always been about finding creative , practical solutions , and I ’ m excited to continue building on that legacy ,” says Hunt . Looking to the future , Hunt hopes to expand his sustainability-focused architectural approach to working on larger-scale projects , including multi-use buildings that integrate housing , retail , and public spaces . “ There ’ s a big opportunity in Vermont for mixed-use developments that combine public space and housing in ways that meet both environmental and community needs . It ’ s not just about creating beautiful spaces – we want to build homes and structures that can last and serve Vermonters for generations .” n
