The Woods
From the Ground Up
Set quietly into the woods, this home feels etched into the earth, shaped by materials that belong to the land.
The architecture leans into a modern softness. Rounded volumes and ribbed wood details guide movement through the home. At its center, two sculptural kitchen islands sit with ease, allowing space to gather, not perform. Light moves through in long stretches, revealing shifts in tone and surface from morning to dusk.
The kitchen flows into the family room, where a Normandy-style plaster hood and custom silver root marble hearth create quiet strength. The dining room follows naturally, built around a pleated marble pendant and a split dead-flat walnut table. Seating is mixed, intentional, and slightly offbeat—designed for lived-in gatherings, not formality.
Private spaces echo the same control. A glass-wrapped closet offers calm utility. The steam and shower room is wrapped in linear marble and hand-troweled microcement, with a soft bench grounding the space in masculine stillness.
Throughout, furniture and art are found, not placed. A Sabine Maes wall hanging piece discovered in North Carolina now rests in the sitting lounge as if it had always been there. Everything within this home—brass, stone, plaster, wood—works in rhythm.
This is a house that listens before it speaks. Inviting a slower, more intentional way of living.
