One of the highest buildable elevations in Killington, brings a new vision of Mountain Living into shape. These two home compounds offer an unusual blend of modern Scandinavian designs, cutting-edge energy efficiency and breathtaking panoramic views. The project, envisioned by architect and developer Eric Roden, brings Nordic craftsmanship and innovation to Vermont’s finest ski destinations.
A Swedish licensed architect (including several New England states), Roden has extensive experience in Nordic architecture techniques and knows exactly what he wanted when creating this development. I did.
“The quality and energy efficiency of the panel structures coming out of Finland and Sweden are unparalleled,” Roden said.
After seeing a house in a polar house in Helsinki, he wanted to bring that level of craftsmanship to the United States.
The two home compounds are designed to fit seamlessly into the natural environment. In the Polar Life House, fully built in Finland, the house is shipped to Vermont, assembled on site, and local crews handle the finishing touches. The panel construction ensures a tight, energy efficient seal, while the 12-inch thick exterior walls offer excellent insulation and noise reduction. An integrated windowing solution, Polar Life Haus’ HTWS offers high energy efficiency while maximizing stunning external views.
Inside, all the details reflect Scandinavian accuracy. Swedish engineering doors feature hidden hinges and magnetic locks for a seamless aesthetic. The exterior is covered with hand-selected Finnish spruces, designed to weather gracefully over time.
While the concept images provide an approximation of the possibilities of these residences upon completion, external footage surrounding these home designs is what the homeowner experiences with the real views of Killington’s property.
