The client for this house, which is located in West
Virginia on a four acre site, wished to create a Norman-Style
residence among the established trees and landscape. The client
desired materials and a design which would reflect solidity, age,
and tradition.
The massing of the house, which uses the illusion of additions and
the highly contoured landscape to screen much of the house from
public view, was in response to the clients’ desire for the house to
appear modest from the street and for privacy. This sensitive
approach for the extensive program of the house allows elements,
such as the indoor lap pool, to be completely hidden from view, both
from the street and from the house.
The overall feel of this home is that of elegance and warmth. The
custom style, attention to detail, and beautiful and natural gardens
make this home a wonderful retreat.
