      The 2020 Fine Homebuilding House has come a long way from its traditional New England style roots. Senior editor Patrick McCombe catches up with architect Elizabeth DiSalvo of Trillium Architects to discuss the design elements that give this whole-house remodel the modern feel the homeowners were after. Albert Jensen-Moulten from BPC Green Builders then takes Patrick on a tour around the job site to take a closer look at the installation processes for the Boral TruExterior poly-ash siding, Eldorado Stone masonry veneer, and Kebony sustainably modified wood window lintels.
