George Helmer is an eighth generation Vermonter and life-long resident of Woodstock, who designed and built his first building in 1973, and founded Woodstock Builders, Inc. three years later. He developed the Lincoln Corners project, designed the building, and built it.
His Woodstock Builders has always been known for quality and excellence, and One Lincoln Corners is the end result of 30+ years of business relationships with some of Vermont's finest subcontractors, materialmen, and consultants.
Like all Vermonters, Mr. Helmer takes great pride in the State's natural environment and viewscapes. As a designer and developer, he has always made every effort to ensure that his projects blend as seamlessly as possible with their Vermont surroundings. One Lincoln Corners is no exception.
"I was taught from an early age by my architect father that the most important mandate for a Vermont architectural designer is to blend inoffensively with the beauty that makes Vermont so special. On a hillside, keep the shapes, colors, and materials as natural as possible, stay below any ridgeline, and break up sharp lines with plantings. In historical settlement areas - farmsteads, villages, hamlets - blend with existing or "expected" architecture. And in the middle of a large field or on top of a hill, don't build at all. In Lincoln Corners, I've made a concerted effort to abide by that mandate." - GHH
