Mountain Crest Dwelling

Thoms Estate, Asheville, NC

Located in the private, upscale community of Thoms Estates in Asheville, North Carolina, this 4,819-square-foot custom residence is a refined example of modern mountain architecture. Designed for comfortable main-level living with long-term aging in place in mind, the home blends sleek, contemporary lines with warm, resilient materials—creating a residence that is as durable as it is beautiful.

The primary living quarters are thoughtfully located on the main level, offering convenient single-floor access to the primary suite, open-concept living and dining spaces, and a large, state-of-the-art kitchen. Expansive glass doors open out to a generous deck that captures uninterrupted mountain views, allowing the natural surroundings to serve as an ever-changing backdrop to daily life. This outdoor living space is ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

On the lower level, a private guest suite provides comfort and autonomy for visiting friends and family. The floor plan emphasizes flexibility, privacy, and a strong connection between interior and exterior spaces on both levels.

A carefully curated material palette was selected by the homeowners in collaboration with our design team, prioritizing both aesthetics and longevity. Natural wood, metal, and fiber cement panels were used to highlight the home’s clean, contemporary lines while ensuring low maintenance and long-term durability. These resilient materials will allow the home to age gracefully, maintaining its visual appeal and structural integrity for decades to come.

This project is a strong reflection of our firm’s expertise in designing site-sensitive, custom residences that meet the evolving needs of modern homeowners. By harmonizing form, function, and setting, this Thoms Estates home offers timeless design and everyday livability in one of Asheville’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
