The Taft School Faculty House, designed by Trillium Architects and built by BPC builders, won the 2015 CTGBC Residential Award of Honor.  The house was commissioned by the Taft School (a private secondary boarding school in Litchfield County) to serve as an example to the public and a learning tool for their students.

To that end the house achieved the following certifications:

·        Passive House

·        LEED Platinum

·        Net Zero

·        Living Building Challenge (3 Petals)

This is the 3rd CTGBC Residential Award that the team at Trillium has won.  They won the CTGBC Residential Award of Merit in both 2012 and 2013.   

New house on the water in Stamford

We have been working on two houses on the water in Stamford over the past year. One is a new 5,000 sf home. The other is an addition and renovation to an existing home. They are both in Dolphin Cove. A lovely residential enclave. These are some photos of the new house under construction. What amazing views!  

We love this house because of the room proportions- simple rectangles with tall ceilings, not too large and not too small. We also love that it will be a light filled white washed interior. It is great to have a client with sophisticated and simple taste! 

You can also see the radiant floor has been installed to go under the wide board wood floor to come.  The house will be an indoor-outdoor, comfortable, airy and energy efficient refuge.
