New windows in the south-east corner of the kitchen and a soaring pent roof are among the many recent renovations at the Willmarth Farm in Addison, Vermont. These architectural interventions comprised of clean, modern lines complement the existing historic fabric.
Happy Camper
I recently received the note below from a satisfied client:
Hi Wags, Joan, and Katie,
What a joy it was for us to be at the cottage this past summer with the new bunkhouse and renovated cottage! Each day, we appreciated the expanded space and observed the special touches and thoughtful details you all incorporated in your work. We again realized how fortunate we were to have the expertise, creativity, and vision of architect, builder, and landscaper who worked together to create such a delightful spot.
The two separate buildings worked so well and the beautiful stonework and landscaping brought them all together. (What good exercise it was to climb those steps several times a day!) We understand the fall has brought changing colors to many of the landscape plants.
The location has always been special to our family but now the renovated cottage and new bunkhouse will make it a comfortable and pleasant place to enjoy with family and friends for years to come.
Many thanks to you all – it was wonderful working with you.
Fondly,
Lynn & Bob

Cody’s Pub Completed
Recently completed, Cody’s Pub, located in a residence in Warren, Vermont, has all the charm of an olde world bar. See 2012 posts entitled Fine Woodworking to read about creating the hand-carved, curved, mahogany bar.
Big Balcony
The big steel balcony below was fabricated in East Middlebury, Vermont by Nop’s Metalworks. Delivered to the building site in one piece, the balcony required an oversize permit and an escort due to its size. Stainless steel cable railings and wood decking will complete the balcony.
Cody’s Pub
Coby’s Pub located in a ski house at Sugarbush could not have been completed without the efforts of talented local craftsman. The hand-carved, curved, mahogany bar, crafted by Dan Ober of Ober Woodworking, dominates the space. See September blog posts entitled Fine Woodworking for concept sketch and work in progress. Concealed within the the bar is a beer keg refrigerator, ice maker, beverage cooler and microwave oven. Stained glass artist, Barry Friedman of Luminosity Studios, created the leaded glass mirror and diamond light inserts for the windows using specialty glass and mirror. The general contractor, Brothers Building, Inc, installed antique oak flooring, salvaged timbers, custom milled trim, rough plaster, plumbing and lighting to complete the pub.

Remote Cabin featured on Houzz
I am delighted to have another one of my projects featured on the design website Houzz.
Blogger, Editor and Stylist Joanne Palmisano showcased my Remote Cabin in her ideabook entitled, Houzz Tour: Cozy Vermont Cabin Blanketed in Charm This carefully crafted, ecofriendly cabin in the woods makes coming in from the cold a truly memorable occasion.
Cornwall, Vermont Renovation and Addition – before and after
Below are photos of the kitchen, siting room, living room, dining room and sun room in a recently completed renovation and addition project in Cornwall, Vermont. Details abound in this home and include a stone fireplace, extensive woodwork and built-in furniture. New windows and french doors take advantage of abundant natural light and stunning Adirondack views. The connected spaces contain the Owners collection of antique furniture, rugs and Asian art acquired while living abroad. The smaller images are the before photos.
Modern Cabin featured on Houzz
I am delighted to have one of my projects featured this week on the design website Houzz. Houzz is a leading destination for home design enthusiasts, professionals and home owners from around the world. With over 50,000 photos and 100,000 ideabooks, Houzz has the largest database of home design ideas on the net; it is the online version of cutting pages out of magazines and stuffing them in a folder.
Writer, Editor and Dreamer Lawrence Karol showcased my Modern Cabin in his ideabook entitled, Houzz Tour: Bright, Polished Vermont Cabin Using local woods, plentiful windows and a keen eye for design, an architect builds a sleek cabin in the mountains of Vermont.
“I don’t know much about playing poker, but I’ve been told that a pair of aces is the best starting hand in Texas Hold ‘Em. Architect Joan Heaton was holding the equivalent of this lucky pair — a keen eye for clean, modern design and a husband who’s a builder — when she began construction on this 800-square-foot cabin in the Green Mountains of Vermont.”
Adirondack Addition – before and after
The addition to this Adirondack home contains a sitting room, four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a loft; it blends seamlessly with the architecture of the existing cottage. The addition, located at right angles to the existing cottage, forms an outdoor courtyard with dramatic westerly views of the Adirondack Mountains. The design of the addition mimics the gable form and period details of the existing cottage such as the stone foundation and patio, flared shingled walls, diamond light windows and elaborate timber framed elements inside and out. The last image shows the site before the addition.
Barn addition – before and after
This barn and mud room addition not only changed how the owners live, it also transformed the way the house looks. Below is a photo of the house before the addition.
