       The upstairs catwalk and bedrooms look out onto the open and wooded property, with the height and views making you feel as though you are in the trees. The entry to the house utilizes an abundance of the property’s existing stone and rock formations. 

These elements were embraced in the design, placing enormous natural stones from the property in concert with stonewalls and planters to create a hardscape pallet bringing all focus to the firepit and stone seating array.
