Located on a steep, wooded site west of downtown Richmond this home takes advantage of sweeping river views through the seasons. Sharing the landscape with a number of granite outcroppings - a common occurrence along this section of river that for centuries has provided stone in the form of slabs and cobbles for the local building industry - this structure is designed to serve as a crisp counterpoint. Defined by glass walls and projecting horizontal roofs the indoor spaces blend seamlessly with the outdoors while affording panoramic views of the surrounding forest and river which are teeming with waterfowl and wildlife.
