The house sits on a south-facing slope above a small tributary of the Cahaba. Local Alabama limestone forms the primary walls and chimney masses; the roof is charcoal slate. Deep eaves and a continuous porch on the south elevation manage summer heat while capturing winter light. Inside, rift-sawn white oak paneling and book-matched Calacatta marble in the primary rooms establish a quiet material continuity with the landscape.

Materials
  • Alabama limestone, dry-stacked and honed
  • Charcoal Welsh slate roof
  • Rift-sawn white oak millwork, hand-rubbed
  • Book-matched Calacatta Viola marble
  • Unlacquered brass hardware throughout
