Mid-sized contemporary brown two-story wood and clapboard house exterior idea in Boston with a shed roof and a black roof

This simple and clean contemporary home was designed on a steeply sloping lot with a magnificent view of the Hill country. The main floor is designed to take advantage of the view and the very little level ground, while a partial lower floor steps down with the natural terrain mitigating costs and integrating into the hillside.

The home sits into an extremely steep, half-acre lot that shares a property line with a ski resort and allows for ski-in, ski-out access to the mountain’s 61 trails. This unique location and challenging terrain informed the home’s siting, footprint, program, design, interior design, finishes, and custom made furniture. Credit: Samyn-D'Elia Architects

Access to the lake from this charming home required navigating a steep slope. db landscaping LLC was able to negotiate this terrain and provide comfortable lake access using oversized natural stone steps and landings that meander through native plant material. The upper patio space provides natural outdoor gathering space directly off the main living area and allows for a perched view of the lake beyond.

This was a dream come true. Taking full advantage of the site’s potential. There was little to be salvaged from the 100 year old farm house that occupied the Georgia mountain property our clients purchased for their retirement home. The natural beauty of the accompanying 90 acres of rolling terrain fueled the vision of a horse farm that would serve the family for decades to come.

A standard approach to redesigning the rugged landscape would have been to blast away the rock to create level terrain. Instead, Dunn chose a sustainable approach, one that meant preserving, protecting and enhancing the rock ledge.
