The following article was published in the Boston Globe Magazine, 6/23/2012. It feature’s quotes from Andrew on a renovated home he worked on while with Cushman Design Group. Below is a short excerpt from the article.
By Jaci Conry - JUNE 24, 2012
“The homeowners showed up at our office the morning after the fire, wearing brand-new clothes — because they’d lost everything — and asked us to help figure out the best thing to do,” says Volansky, who works for Cushman Design Group. Ultimately, the owners decided to build a new home based on the original structure: a 12-sided form inspired by the architecture of Shaker barns.
When design on the new house began, most of the collaboration between the architects and homeowners was done electronically — the family, which lives the better part of the year in Bermuda, embarked on an around-the-world sailing trip during construction. “We posted progress photos online and e-mailed drawings,” says Volansky. “The fact that we communicated remotely for most of the project is pretty incredible, but it all worked out very well.”
This 12-sided vacation home in Stowe, Vermont, with lovely mountain views, takes its cue from Shaker barns.
Throughout the home, which was completed in 2009, oversize windows capture soaring vistas: to the west, Madonna Mountain, and to the east, the Worcester Mountains. Knotty wide-plank Eastern white pine floors enhance the structure’s barn-like essence, as do copper light fixtures that Volansky had made by California company Baselite.

Andrew Volansky, an architect in Stowe, has begun his own design firm, Volansky Studio Architecture and Planning.
He had worked for Cushman Design Group in Stowe since 2003, and developed into the firm’s lead architect and project manager.
With his new firm, Volansky said he wants to continue providing a high level of design, collaboration and leadership, working with clients, general contractors, engineering consultants and real estate agents.
Volansky grew up in Stowe, graduated from Stowe High School in 1990, and earned a master’s degree in architecture in 1996 from Norwich University. He began his career in Vail, Colo., working for Gwathmey Pratt Schultz Architects, primarily on high-end custom residences and custom multifamily townhomes.
He and his wife, Jennifer, returned to Stowe in 2003 to start a family. They now have two boys, Tucker, 12, and Jaxson, 8.
“The term ‘Studio’ in my firm’s name reflects an approach to how I do design work with my clients, as opposed to simply the physical place where design occurs,” Volansky said. “It represents a collaborative process involving myself, my clients and the various craftspeople, general contractors and consultants to deliver a truly client-specific project, whether it be a primary residence, a vacation home, or place of business.” Volansky holds professional licenses in Vermont, New York and Colorado. His studio is at 351 North Hollow Road; phone 802-793-4999.
Andrew was honored by Best of Central Vermont Magazine to comment on the trend of incorporating repurposed and reclaimed objects in unique ways in home design. Below is what was published in the magazine’s Trend Watch edition.
excerpt from Best of Central Vermont, Trend Watch Spring 2014
“Repurposing of reclaimed objects, the creation of new products using materials in non-traditional ways, and looking for ways to make unique statements in the architecture is a continued trend,” says Andrew Volansky, architect for Cushman Design Group. “Whether using old metal minnow traps as light fixtures, corrugated metal roofing or diamond plate steel as wall panels, or overhead garage doors to create a generous connection to the outdoors, we have lots of fun with our clients imagining new ways to provide interesting design solutions.”
Andrew was honored by Best of Burlington to comment on the growing trend of smaller houses. Below is what was published in the magazine’s Trend Watch edition.
“People are gravitation toward smaller spaces and homes,” says Andrew Volansky, architect with Cushman Design Group in Stowe. “They are looking for ways to effectively combine uses and minimize duplication as a way to reduce overall square footage. They are asking themselves which spaces are most important and are visualizing themselves within those spaces to help determine whether those areas are critical to the design and to their homes” Andrew explains, “We use the cooking metaphor of reducing a sauce – clients are doing this with their homes, and we find that the end result can be much richer”
