Asheville, North Carolina – United States

The commission consists of projecting a weekend residence on a large, steep terrain and lush vegetation located on the side of a mountain, with views over the village and the landscape. Access is made through the upper part of the plot.

It is proposed to divide the program into different volumes that adapt to the steep topography of the place, increasing the number of linear meters of the facade from which to enjoy nature and views.

In this way, the program is distributed in half floors between three different volumes joined by the staircase and a walkway between the volume of the garage and the house. On the access level, we find the open kitchen and dining room and the service units, half a floor below the living room with different areas around a fireplace and a terrace and on the lower levels the rooms, all with access to a longitudinal terrace, and the pool with solarium area.

An exempt and isolated volume from the rest of the house, at the lowest levels of the property, is projected as a guest hall.

The sloping roof volumes and large glazed cloths are placed oriented according to the views to be promoted and metal sheet finishes are designed on the upper floors on a stone basement in contact with the ground, where the night area is located.
