The site drops steeply on three sides. We placed the main living spaces on the upper level so the house reads as a single calm volume from the approach. Local sandstone and Alabama limestone form the exterior walls; the roof is standing-seam copper that will patinate to a soft green. Every principal room opens through tall French doors to a continuous porch that shades the glass and captures breezes off the water.

Materials
  • Local sandstone and Alabama limestone
  • Standing-seam copper roof
  • Ipe decking on all porches
  • Rift-sawn white oak and lime plaster interiors
