A couple relocated from Maryland to Charlottesville with their two young daughters to take advantage of the city’s great quality of life, and imagined a house where they could both work and raise their daughters. Faced with a rock filled sloping site, we designed their house to engage the hillside, transforming the site into a sublime nurturing environment filled with light, air and easy access to the outdoors.
The house is a long rectangle (in plan) running east to west to take advantage of the southern orientation, the views towards Monticello and allow for a significant play area in the backyard. The north side is a taut composition of glass, wood and corrugated metal. A large expanse of glass marks the entry and provides a glimpse into the two-story wood paneled living area beyond. The south side is made up of terraces, porches and windows overlooking the neighborhood. The living/dining/kitchen area flows out to the screened porch through five large sliding glass doors-0..
The couple decided they wanted to be able to work from home. He is involved with sales and travels frequently while she teaches yoga and spends much of her time raising their daughters. This project was complete before covid, but worked well for them during that stressful period.
He has a long thin office on the west side of their bedroom and above the garage. She has a small office space perched over the two story living area where she can keep an eye on activity below. She also has a studio on the lowest level where she can teach yoga or work out herself.
The house has already shown its resilience in this covid episode where they spent most of their time sheltering until the worst had passed. I believe the variety of outdoor terraces, decks and porches provided them a pressure release to gather or disperse as needed.
