This one-of-a-kind private residence is perched in the mountains surrounding Asheville, North Carolina, and is defined by its bold architectural feature: a striking round living space that offers uninterrupted, panoramic views of both the Blue Ridge Mountains and downtown Asheville. Designed to celebrate its incredible natural surroundings, the home is a modern interpretation of mountain living, blending sculptural form with a strong connection to place.
At the heart of the home is the circular main living area, a design decision that both anchors the layout and maximizes visibility in all directions. Expansive, floor-to-ceiling windows wrap the curve of the space, creating a continuous visual experience that evolves with the seasons. Whether at sunrise or sunset, the views from this room provide a daily connection to the landscape that is both grounding and awe-inspiring.
The architectural concept focused on integrating the home into the natural topography while still achieving a modern, light-filled interior. High ceilings and a radial floor plan enhance the sense of openness in the central living space, while adjacent private rooms maintain warmth, privacy, and functionality. Natural materials—such as wood, stone, and neutral-toned finishes—bring texture and contrast to the sleek structural geometry, creating a residence that feels timeless yet contemporary.
In addition to its unique form, the home is equipped with energy-efficient systems, passive solar orientation, and carefully selected materials that contribute to long-term sustainability and performance.
This custom home exemplifies our firm’s approach to site-specific residential design—balancing bold architectural gestures with the subtleties of the environment. It’s a home that not only takes in the views, but becomes a part of them—an enduring statement of modern architecture in the Asheville mountains.
