PROJECT LOCATION: Old Trail, Crozet, Virginia

On a serene suburban street, the 5 over 4 Craftsman style house exudes charm and character. Its low-pitched, hipped roofline, adorned with exposed rafters and decorative braces, speaks to the meticulous craftsmanship that defines this architectural style. A prominent front porch, supported by sturdy tapered columns with stone pedestals, invites guests to linger and enjoy the cool evening breeze. As you enter through the solid wood front door, you’re greeted by an interior that seamlessly combines comfort with functionality. The open floor plan promotes a sense of spaciousness while maintaining an intimate atmosphere. Rich hardwood floors stretch across the living spaces, complemented by built-in cabinetry and shelving that showcase handcrafted details.

Nestled in a tranquil countryside setting, this modern Prairie style cottage captivates with its sleek lines, expansive windows, and harmonious integration with nature. Inspired by the architectural principles of Frank Lloyd Wright, this home exudes a sense of openness and connection to the surrounding landscape. The exterior facade of the cottage is a study in geometric simplicity, featuring a low-pitched roof with broad eaves that extend horizontally, emphasizing the horizontal plane. Large windows, strategically placed to capture views of the sprawling meadows and distant hills, flood the interior with natural light and blur the boundaries between inside and out.
