Mills River, North Carolina

This modern two-story residence serves as a quiet retreat in the forest for an active young family. The primary living spaces, including three bedrooms, are located on the upper level, while a fully independent guest apartment occupies the lower level.

A simple roof form and restrained palette of natural wood and dark cladding define the architecture. Generous overhangs and a continuous deck extend the living areas outward, reinforcing the connection to the landscape. Built on a Superior Wall foundation system, the home is carefully integrated into the steep slope to balance efficiency, functionality, and presence.
