The traditional sugar house was a small cabin where spring-time sap was collected from sugar maple trees and then boiled into maple syrup. These buildings were recognizable by the typically rectangular vented cupola that allowed the release of steam, and an attached shed roof for the storage of firewood. Traditionally, these modest buildings included bunks for catching intervals of sleep during the round-the-clock work of “sugaring”. We’ve borrowed from this charming architectural form with its humble origins to create bright and comfortable homes.
The Classic Sugar Houses are contemporary reflections of the traditional, functional design--rectangular in plan and a simple timber frame.
