This private residence in Western Pennsylvania is sited within the soft borders of cultivated corn and soybean fields. The rambling structure consists of stone walls built from local reclaimed hand-hewn barn stone and moment resisting Douglas fir timber frames. Tucked between the stone and timber frames are expansive window walls that invite the surrounding landscape into the house and offer spectacular views in all directions. The building is carefully sited and scaled to take advantage of views and create intimate exterior spaces with microclimates that help connect the occupants to this expansive site. Interior finishes of Douglas fir, native bluestone and barn stone create a rustic house that resonates with its agrarian surroundings.

PA Landscape Group INC Project Entry: Mountainside Living 2014 PLNA Awards for Landscape Excellence Winner Category: Hardscaping-Residential $120,000&over Award Level: Silver Photo Description: This residence sits on a mountain side, sloping wooded property. Water was an issue flowing down the mountain, so many rocked swales divert the flow. The area which we are presenting is the rear of the house that will be used to entertain family and friends, a place to unwind in the evenings and weekends. We designed the outdoor areas to meet the needs and desires of the owners. When one walks through the breezeway not only to see an expansive valley view, but a relaxing fireplace and living area below where relaxing begins. Walk down the stairway of natural cut stone, you wonder through a landscaped garden onto the living area patio. Looking to your left is the pool with ample hardscape pool deck; large enough for a party or just the intimacy of two. Separating, yet joining the two areas is the grilling island, bar and outdoor wood burning oven. On the other side of the living area we go down a few steps to the raised planters and conservatory/greenhouse where plant are enjoyed from seedling to flower, or one can read a good book. Each area has it’s own personality for conversation or contemplation. The area is surrounded with plantings to provide color or to silhouette on the gray winter sky.
