Etna Residence
For this new three-bedroom home, the owners purchased a site with an existing home. The new home’s design was bound to the tight footprint by pre-existing wetland and zoning constraints. The new home’s form was somewhat predisposed to feature a clean, contemporary look by both the owner’s goals as well as the footprint proportions. Fitting the program into the restrictive footprint mandated the vertical use of space and light. Integrity® Wood-Ultrex® windows and doors provided the flexibility to work with tall ceilings and flood the seemingly small home with light to create a sense of open and grand spaces.

Today the home stands proud within a rural area without overwhelming the nature it is tucked into.
