Bresnahan

This house in Cedar Mountain, NC is situated on a rock bald, the second highest point of 100 spectacular acres abutting DuPont State Forest.  Because solid rock cannot be graded to effect water drainage, most of the house is elevated on columns so that rainwater follows the same path it has taken for eons.  The house is linear with an abundance of glass to take advantage of a nearby ridge view.  The geology and natural landscape that was "given" and is preserved informed the siting and planning.

 With the exception of the foyer and porches, the entire house has 8 foot high flat ceilings. All window go to the ceiling.  All doors in the house are 8 feet tall with no head frame nor trim.  With windows and doors topping out at ceiling height a pleasantly unexpected human-scaled spaciousness is created.
