Our current project has us digging deep into a home in South Burlington. The house was designed and built by a local well known architect who was more architect than builder. We have come across some very interesting construction techniques.
This project will be a multi-phase effort.
The first phase of the project consists of several parts, digging out the foundation to correct drainage issues and ledge removal, wrapping the basement with 6.5' of EPS foam for some serious insulation, drainage mat, and some serious ledge removal.
The highlight of the first phase will be a new monitor on top of a stunning new low pitch roof with some soaring angles. This will allow for some serious airsealing and insulation upgrades. We are shooting for R-75 for the new roof section which covers a large portion of the house. The low pitch roof extends out to create a new patio space, all held up with some signature Arrodesign fabric formed concrete columns. The rest of the roof will get a polyiso foam sweater and will be sealed up with a nice new standing seam roof. At the same time the roof will be extended to give the house some much needed overhangs.
Pictures to follow....
