Bushman Dreyfus Architects
The modest, single-floor house is designed to afford spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Set in the idyllic Virginia countryside, distinct “pavilions” serve different functions: the living room is the center of the home; bedroom suites surround an entry courtyard; a studio/guest suite sits atop the garage; a screen house rests quietly adjacent to a 60-foot lap pool. The abstracted Virginia farmhouse aesthetic roots the building in its local context while offering a quiet backdrop for the family’s daily life and for their extensive folk art collection.
Constructed of concrete-filled styrofoam insulation blocks faced with traditional stucco, and heated by radiant concrete floors, the house is energy efficient and extremely solid in its construction.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by John Hill to Color Makes Its Mark on Modern House Exteriors
This "abstracted farmhouse" outside Washington, D.C., gains some of its abstraction from the stucco exterior and its pastel green color. The house manages to stand out from the landscape without the tactic of contrast.
added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to Context
The design of a home can complement its context through its use of form and color. For example, a flat, open field can provide the setting for a home that resembles a village and pays homage to the historic farmhouses nearby.
added by Bud Dietrich, AIA to It Takes a Village: 2 Homes Made of Multiple Structures
Traveling down the Eastern Seaboard a few hundred miles is where we come across the second home that's been created as a small community. But in this case, a rural Virginia home, the design was inspired by local farming estates.
