Westport Sustainable Renovation
A Transformation of a 1930s Arts and Crafts Home
“It was imperative that our house reflect our beliefs and lifestyle choices and every step of the way Trillium helped us make decisions that resonate with our values and supports our daily life. We got a gorgeous green house.” - Jennifer
A drafty and cold Arts and Crafts style, 1930s home needed a renovation and addition, plus an increase in energy-efficiency. We added a solar array, Energy Star windows, and insulation while also creating more space with the 800 sf addition and better flow with the 1,000 sf renovated area. We stayed true to the house's original design which mixes curved lines with triangular gables, and shingles with stone, for an asymmetrical composition that engages the eye.
