Minutes from Sugarbush, Architect Dave Sellers’s “Archie Bunker” is a high-concept concrete manse filled with vintage artifacts. Winner of 2010 American Institute of Architects Award. Includes private spring-fed swimming pool and golf green with chipping range. And in the summer, the entire living room slides open so you can step directly into the swimming pool. For a video tour, search "Archie Bunker Offbeat Spaces". Originating from a 10-day design class called the "Joy of Concrete", the Archie Bunker began as a playful experiment pushing the norms of concrete. What started as a pavilion with arched ceilings turned into a two year project. Sellers built the house with students at Yestermorrow, a design/build school in Warren. (Sellers has taught at Yestermorrow, Yale, MIT and Goddard, where he founded the design/build program.) Sellers and his students nailed together arched plywood forms from his design of the Pitcher Inn in Warren, pieces set to be thrown out, and poured concrete on them. "We made a piece of spatial sculpture, and then we figured out where we wanted to put functional things," Sellers said. The 1,100-square foot home, with a spring-fed swimming pool on its south side, exhibits various uses, forms and textures of concrete: rounded (and rough-edged) ceilings; cantilevered balconies; a deep bathtub with a view, and a pre-cast sink. In the summer, the south wall of the house rolls away, and you can jump right into the pool. In the winter, when the snow reaches an exterior band of mirrors, the concrete house appears to float. The house was honored in 2010 by the American Institute of Architects. It was built Prickly Mountain-style: with no client and no formal design. This kind of freedom in architecture is what Sellers prefers, and what interests him. The house features the following: Two bedrooms and two bathrooms: -- Master bedroom with queen size bed, private balcony and attached bathroom. -- Second bedroom with queen size bed, that overlooks living room. -- Second bathroom with large sculpted concrete soaking tub -- Large living room with two seating areas, dining table, chess table and plus unique pull-out trundle bed (queen size), and wood-burning fireplace. WE DO NOT PERMIT GUESTS TO USE THE FIREPLACE FOR SAFETY REASONS. -- Kitchen including gas range with oven, Dishwasher, Microwave and coffee maker --Washer/Dryer --Wireless Internet --Private Swimming Pool (summer only--open June 1 though Sept 15) --Radiant heated floors
