The Mountain Home
Perched on a steep wooded ridge in western North Carolina, this mountain vacation home blends rugged materiality with refined modern lines to frame panoramic valley and ridge views; heavy local stone and timber ground the structure in the landscape while expansive glazing, deep overhangs, and clerestory windows pull daylight deep into the plan and blur the boundary between interior and forest.

The layout centers on an open great room with a cathedral ceiling and a masonry hearth that anchors shared living, dining, and kitchen spaces for convivial gatherings, while private bedrooms and flex spaces are arranged on split levels to follow the topography and provide daylight, cross-ventilation, and privacy.
