Quaint 2 bedroom/lofted cabin on the banks of the upper James River near Lynchburg, Va. Simplicity and strong connections to nature define this understated biophilic home. Natural materials such as cedar and local soapstone define a modern but slightly rustic character. The home also collects solar energy for water heating directly on the roof and from a nearby ground-mounted solar array. This home is in keeping with the architect's love of bridge forms.
