Situated along a pristine pond in Tyringham Massachusetts, this new home maximizes the living potential of its fairly narrow site. The result is a compact craftsman inspired home with commanding views of Goose Pond and the surrounding hills. The living space is expanded outside with a sweeping deck on the main floor and several private decks on the second floor. A beautiful stone fireplace forms the heart of the interior living spaces. Though the exterior appearance expresses the grandeur of wooden New England craftsmanship this home is thoroughly modern on the inside. It was constructed with insulated panels and triple glazed windows that provide an exceptionally energy efficient building envelope. The minimal need for heating and cooling is provided by super-efficient electric heat pumps.
