"The Crabhills bought the five-acre property near Hillsborough, NC, with the intention of building a simple, modern home in a clearing amidst a lush forest. They wanted the house to disturb the natural environment as little as possible and accommodate local wildlife".
"The architects sited the house carefully to avoid disturbing the natural environment, to maximise natural lighting, and to frame views of forest, including a favourite three-trunked tree".
"To reflect the rural setting, Petarca specified simple, inexpensive materials and references to regional agricultural structures rendered in a modern architecture composition".
"The first floor includes the entry, a spacious kitchen/living/dining room, a studio/music space, and two decks. The second floor includes the master bedroom suite and two bedrooms for the Crabill’s children, who share an extra loft space and bath".
Materials such as oak flooring were used throughout the residence, to add a real natural, yet contemporary feel to the home.
