The design of this home was driven by the owners’ desire for a three-bedroom waterfront home that showcased the spectacular views and park-like setting. As nature lovers, they wanted their home to be organic, minimize any environmental impact on the sensitive site and embrace nature. This unique home is sited on a high ridge with a 45° slope to the water on the right and a deep ravine on the left. The five-acre site is completely wooded and tree preservation was a major emphasis. Very few trees were removed and special care was taken to protect the trees and environment throughout the project. To further minimize disturbance, grades were not changed and the home was designed to take full advantage of the site’s natural topography. Oak from the home site was re-purposed for the mantle, powder room counter and select furniture. The visually powerful twin pavilions were born from the need for level ground and parking on an otherwise challenging site. Fill dirt excavated from the main home provided the foundation. All structures are anchored with a natural stone base and exterior materials include timber framing, fir ceilings, shingle siding, a partial metal roof and corten steel walls. Stone, wood, metal and glass transition the exterior to the interior and large wood windows flood the home with light and showcase the setting. Interior finishes include reclaimed heart pine floors, Douglas fir trim, dry-stacked stone, rustic cherry cabinets and soapstone counters. Exterior spaces include a timber-framed porch, stone patio with fire pit and commanding views of the Occoquan reservoir. A second porch overlooks the ravine and a breezeway connects the garage to the home. Numerous energy-saving features have been incorporated, including LED lighting, on-demand gas water heating and special insulation. Smart technology helps manage and control the entire house.

From overhead you get the feel of the relaxing, curvilinear forms juxtaposing vegetation with hardscape to provide a holistic design. Meandering pathways connect the planted nodes for care and ease of travel making this an enjoyable yet functional layout.

The homeowner wanted to create multiple outdoor individually themed rooms that connected with seamless sightlines. The goal was an outdoor experience used for entertainment. The main “living” area was a bluestone patio connected directly to the home. The patio contained an outdoor kitchen, dining area and fireplace lounge. Bluestone, Painted brick, concrete countertops and steel were the primary materials used to connect all the separate rooms in some form. The “play” area stepped off the patio and contained a lawn, vegetable garden and custom steel bocce court. The “play” area was separated from the “living” area by an 18’ long custom fabricated steel water feature and boxwood planters. The “relaxation” area stepped down from the “play” area and contained a wood burning fire pit, custom steel planters fitted with 2” cal. Willow Oaks to eventually create a natural “roof”, accent lighting and access to the mother-in-law suite. Loose chipped grey slate aggregate was used as the base material to provide a more organic/natural feel. A large French drain system and gravel sump pit is located underneath. The entirety of the backyard drainage including the downspout piping, bocce court drainage and other run off is directed to this point.

This home knows where to be sophisticated and where to have a little fun. The kitchen is light and classic, with soft grey Shaker cabinets, matte black hardware, and a plaster hood set against a full-height quartz backsplash. A narrow section of green tile behind the cooktop adds color and gives the range wall more depth. An arched opening connects the kitchen to a separate prep area, adding valuable workspace while keeping it out of sight from the main living space. At the front of the home, the two-story entry changes the scale completely. Black-framed windows draw the eye upward, while the geometric light fixture fills the open space without feeling oversized. The arches, contrasting windows, natural finishes, and carefully placed color give the home a classic foundation with a fresh, more individual look.
