This home is a response to both how the family wanted to live and where they wanted to live. Its form follows the land, its windows frame views of a nearby wooded stream, a beautiful and functioning yard and the city park across the street. Spaces are organized around connection—to family, to the outdoors, and to the character of the neighborhood. The result is a contemporary home that feels intentional and distinctly its own while remaining deeply connected to its neighborhood.

The plan is composed of a series of interconnected public rooms that keep the family naturally connected throughout the day. At the same time, smaller semi-private spaces provide places to retreat, work, read, or simply find a quiet moment apart.

The hillside site offered an ever-changing collection of views, and the windows were carefully placed to capture them: the wooded stream to the west, the park across the street.

The architecture balances those influences: clean lines, natural materials, and a restrained palette are paired with the warmth, porches, outdoor living, and neighborhood traditions that make the Southern vernacular so enduring.
