Originally built as a recreational structure for an adjacent house, this building is a completely renovated five-bedroom home. At the base of a nearby large ski area, this four-story house is organized around a central metal stair tower with a large sky light at the top. On the entry level is a gym and two car garage. A half-court basketball court is on the lowest level with a bunk room and pool table. Outside is a swimming pool and recreational areas.

Overlooking the Ossipee Range, this house was orginially built as a passive solar home in 1989. At the time it was one of only two truly passive solar houses in the State, and required only two cords of wood to operate through a Winter. A gut renovation was completed in the Fall of 2018. Improvements included new windows, an enlarged kitchen, a change in roof slopes, and a cupola to allow for increased natural air ventilation. The two-bedroom 1,400 square foot house is now fully heated and cooled by photovoltaic solar panels.

This project added an "L" wing onto a 19th century farmhouse in rural New Hampshire. Replacing previous additions and creating a year-round primary living space, the design allows expansion back into the original house during the summer months. The new wing includes an eat-in kitchen, a cross-ventilated living room with a west-facing porch, and a two-car garage. On the floor above is a master suite and sleeping porch overlooking Mount Chocorua.
