 The Original House, designed and built in 1952 by AIA Gold Medal winning ” Modernist Architect” George Nemeny, was significantly re-Constructed and added on to over a 6 year period by another award winning but contemporary architect.

The House and site work together to create a classic textbook example of the perfect solar orientated house. The house is sheltered from the winter winds by a distinctive surround of tall pines on the north and positioned on a level stretch of lawn midway on a gently south-sloping site. The unique “Eli” shaped floor plan takes advantage of views and sounds across the road at Florsheim Pond from the cantilevered Master Bedroom space and observation deck.

 Special note is to be made that the house functions as a Passive Solar House due to the 15′ tall monumental glass window on the south side and substantial windows in the new guest suite. The house and site have great solar access for photo-voltalcs or DHW collectors. As a result of the renovations, the house is now Super-insulated with 12″ walls and 24″ roofs in most areas, achieving R-40 in the walls and up to R-60 in the roof. These insulation values well exceed the current building codes. Due to its solar siting and the extensive use of the natural materials such as stone, wood & glass the original house design was way ahead of its time in anticipating the need for “Green” and energy efficient homes.
