Ski-Condo Renovation
40 years later, the original owners' children finally update a vacation getaway.
The owners’ parents purchased this condo new at a Vermont ski resort in the late 1960s, and very few changes were made until last year—over 40 years later! The floor, ceiling, and walls were all concrete, which was a widely used material during the time period when it was built. The architect, homeowner, and builder worked closely together with the 900-sq.-ft. space to create an updated, comfortable, and beautiful place for full-time living. Some of the materials used are reclaimed wood and Vermont-quarried marble. Local craftsmen were brought in to create the unique kitchen cabinetry, bathroom vanities, hand-forged railings, and radical layered ceilings (with stunning lighting). This outdated “concrete box” has become a one-of-a-kind home that will stay in the family for generations to come.
