The contemporary cut

Justice Hill is an Emerald Original—a home conceived and designed by our team as a complete vision for high-performance, modern New England living. Set into a wooded hillside in Sterling, Massachusetts, the residence has been thoughtfully designed, permitted, and approved for construction and is currently offered for sale, giving its future owners the opportunity to step into a fully envisioned custom home without beginning the design and permitting process from scratch.

High-performance principles shaped the home from the beginning, pairing a carefully considered building envelope and energy-efficient systems with expansive glazing, natural materials, and a warm contemporary aesthetic. The sloping site informed the stepped massing and asymmetrical rooflines, while dark vertical siding, warm wood accents, and strategically framed views connect the architecture to its wooded setting. Inside, open gathering spaces and private retreats create a home designed for both everyday family life and quiet escape. Justice Hill brings together architecture, construction, energy performance, and site-responsive design in a home that is ready for its next chapter—and its future owners.
