Shenandoah House

Inspired by the Allegheny Mountains of Virginia, this home and writer’s retreat is characterized by an undulating roofline that evokes the Appalachians’ jagged peaks. Composed of pod-like bedrooms and communal spaces sprouting off a central 37-metre corridor, the home’s irregular layout mimics the contours of its steep hillside site while creating intimate outdoor spaces oriented to take advantage of the breathtaking mountain views. The nature-inspired aesthetic continues inside, where curving walls flow into smooth, uninterrupted ceilings (lighting is recessed in slots at the ceiling’s edge) to create a soothing, organic interior. Natural materials like bamboo floors and a fireplace partially clad in locally sourced soapstone further link the home to its surroundings.
