Modern Retreat – Mountain House

The result is the Shenandoah Retreat House set on a 24-acre property on the shores of Virginia’s Shenandoah River and surrounded by a forest and the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Blending modern aesthetic with the nature’s best, the Shenandoah Retreat House is comprised of smaller components that follow the landscape, not overtake it. A concrete bridge welcomes you into the spacious foyer, where a four-storey stair tower is the main attraction, boasting artfully integrated fireplaces and separating the open concept kitchen/living room/dining room area from the master bedroom wing. The Guest House, connected to the main house by a concrete lower level, is set on the lower contour of the property and houses a large family room, guest bedrooms, a bath and a kitchenette. But the true testament to the land-loving homeowners is the design’s eco-friendly features – the use of passive solar design technologies, energy-efficient geothermal heat pumps, and radiant floor heating.
