Sherborn Project

We’re proud to showcase this exceptional project—a complete gut renovation and addition that transformed a dated home into a stunning, modern, net-zero energy residence. With the vision and major design of the talented Shelly Ziegelman of SWZ Architects and engineered for energy efficiency with ZeroEnergy Design, this home is a shining example of innovation, sustainability, and craftsmanship. Most importantly, we are deeply grateful to our incredible clients, whose vision, determination, and trust were the driving forces behind bringing this project to life.

Structural Overhaul:

The project included expanding a single-car garage into a spacious two-car garage and completely reframing the roof across the entire house, creating striking vaulted ceilings that enhance the interior’s openness and elegance. All interior walls were reconfigured for a seamless flow, and the basement was finished with Amdry subfloor panels and cork flooring for added warmth and comfort.

Energy Efficiency at Its Core:

With meticulous insulation and air barrier practices meeting stringent IECC standards, the home boasts triple-glazed uPVC windows for maximum thermal performance. It features a state-of-the-art HVAC system, including an ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) for optimal indoor air quality.

Exterior Elegance:

The façade now features modern Hardie and bamboo siding for durability and style, alongside new energy-efficient doors and windows.

Interior Transformation:

Kitchen: A sleek, modern kitchen with clean lines, featuring custom cabinetry designed to complement the home’s contemporary aesthetic. A downdraft vent was installed for the cooktop, ensuring a seamless design while maintaining excellent ventilation.

Bathrooms: The master bathroom showcases a custom vanity and thoughtfully curated fixtures for a spa-like experience.

Living Spaces: White oak floors bring warmth and continuity throughout the home, while cable railings add a touch of modern sophistication. The master bedroom is elevated by an elegant accent wall.

ADA Compliance: The first floor is fully ADA compliant, with hardwood and tile flooring seamlessly integrated without thresholds or bumps, ensuring both accessibility and style.

Trim-less Features: Trim-less windows and doors create a minimalist aesthetic, enhancing the sleek design.

This project isn’t just a home; it’s a forward-thinking, net-zero energy haven. We’re proud to have delivered a space that meets the highest standards of sustainability, functionality, and design. To our wonderful clients, thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey and for inspiring this extraordinary transformation.
