GoldenEye
Type
GOLDENEYEBasye, VirginiaOn a steep mountainside in the Appalachian Mountains, a modern lair was created. The lair is a James Bond-meets-Swiss-modernism altar for weekend retreats from the city.The approach road to the house curves in and out, clinging to the mountainside topography. The road affords, and then takes away views of the house’s simple modern boxes. The three shed-roofed boxes are carved into the mountainside, creating a tree house on the upper level. This upper level is comprised of the living spaces and the master bedroom, while the lower level houses the guest bedrooms and the James Bond library. All of the volumes open to the treetops and the lake below.The house is a tight-fisted machine for modern (weekend) living - the owner’s James Bond outpost in the country. The outpost was built in a cost-effective manner, in order to reserve funds for the Owner’s passion for modern Swiss furnishings. The structure is stud framing and prefabricated parallel chord wood trusses, sheathed in cement board and corrugated steel. The interiors are sleek, sophisticated surfaces of glass, glass tile, porcelain and ceramic tiles, ebonized bamboo, and silk and wood veneers.PROJECT CREDITSBuilder: Frank Dellinger, Dellinger & Dellinger Construction, Inc., Basye, VAStructural Engineer: Structural Concepts, Inc., Winchester, VAInterior Design: Reader & Swartz Architects, Client, Jaime Palmera, Studio Palmera, Washington, DCLighting: Ronni Glazer, Illuminations, Inc., Washington, DCElectrical: Matthew Huffman, Huffman Electrical Systems, Harrisonburg, VAPhotography: Reader & Swartz Architects
